I'm really wanting to find space for a heavy bag.
My basement is out of the question, as it's too small, with low ceilings, and a telepost is right in the middle. Simply put, no room in the basement/ceiling is too low.
The main floor is pretty open, but I wouldn't be able to permanently keep a bag on the ceiling. It would be possible for me to hang a bag from the ceiling, and take it down after I'm done with it, just leaving the joist bracket on the ceiling (yeah, it would be a pain, but I'd do it if I had to).
My daughter's room is directly above the only spot that would work, and I'd be concerned about her being able to hear the bag bouncing around as I kick it. Thoughts?
My only other option is the garage. I live 3 hours north of Fargo, ND, and this means our winters are cold, really cold. My garage would work quite well, but I'd have to dress accordingly, and wear footwear of some sort.
Frankly, my garage is my best bet, so I'll ask a few questions;
Footwear - any suggestions?
Cold weather training - I'm pretty warm blooded, so a good hoodie and a decent pear of sweat pants and something on my head is about all I'd need, even on the coldest days (I'll be keeping myself warm right?). Any suggestions/thoughts?
Lastly, standing bags...any input? I've read a bit online, and it seems they all slide around. I see this as a problem, as my main floor space is limited.
Also, I can't carry a 270lb bag into the basement when I'm done with it, as I could do with a 100/120lb bag that would hang from the ceiling.
Help guys! I need more practice kicking.
