hey I have an everlast punching bag, I work out on it all the time 4 times a week in the mornings, I was just wondering can you reap the same benefits of fat loss that you get from running, by doing cardio workouts onthe bag?? cuz I got a little fat on my chest and stomach area I want to shed through heavy bag workouts AND toughen my knuckles up at the same time. Someone told me it only helps you lose fat from your shoulders,chest and arms and not from your stomach area is it true?
