Hi, Bill again. Today we're going to be talking about setting up your own boxing gym. So, some of the things we're going to be covering is, the basic first thing, the ring. You should have your own boxing ring, whether it be a raised one or a floor level ring. Next we, we're going to be looking at the heavy bags. You should have at least four assorted bags and then the speed bags along the wall, along the outside walls. That way you get more room to do other things, if they're up against the wall. Some of the other things we're going to be talking about is the iron man tower which you can use for pull ups, sit ups, leg raises, etc. In the far end of the gym tucked away in a corner we have a weight system with some barbells there. Keep everybody with their weights. We have some youth equipment here for the younger boxers that they can use to keep in shape and for their next match. The electronic gym timer in the very corner here would be used to make sure that everybody keeps timed intervals. We have bikes, stationary bikes. One here and one there. We also got treadmills. Another real important, yet cheap piece of equipment, a set of stairs, four stairs up and down. And jump ropes, last but not least, in fact that's one of the best exercises there is. It gets you all loosened up at the same time. And we're going to be talking about each one of these individual items as we go along. Thank you.
