Bag training with punching bags is currently extremely popular, which makes perfect sense, since you can enjoy the benefits of combat sports training such as boxing and kickboxing without what many people consider the downside: taking punches and suffering injuries.
Combat sports athletes have known for years how effective it is to practise their discipline. Almost all combat sports offer huge benefits in terms of calorie burning and improving endurance compared with many other sports.
Punching bags & more!
The days when combat sports were viewed negatively are long gone. Nowadays, you can practise some form of combat sport or combat sports-related activity once or more times a week at almost any gym.
Training on the bag is not only very healthy; it is also a lot of fun and a great outlet from the daily grind.
Boxing Bag bag training involves performing combinations of kicks and punches at a brisk pace on a punching bag or freestanding boxing bag. The aim is not to hit the bag as hard as possible, but rather to keep moving at a comfortable, rhythmic pace and work up a sweat.
What do you need?
Some trainers also alternate bag exercises with other exercises in between. Think sit-ups and push-ups. This makes your workout even more complete and helps you reach your fitness goals faster!
In short, Boxing Bag bag training sessions are the perfect way to burn lots of calories and get into top shape quickly. The sessions are demanding, but provide tremendous satisfaction and a great feeling afterwards.
There are special bag gloves for bag training, but many people choose to wear regular boxing gloves. These will wear out more quickly on the bag, but they offer more protection and a more comfortable fit.
With a bag glove, it can sometimes be difficult to make a proper fist because of the fit. Rival bag gloves do not have this issue and are by far our favourite bag gloves.
MMA gloves are also sometimes used for Boxing Bag bag training. They are pleasantly compact, breathe better thanks to the open palm, and make it easy to form a proper fist.
Training at home
Of course, you can also train perfectly well on a punching bag at home. If you have a separate room, a spot in the garden or an attic room, it is ideal. Put on some good music and really let loose.
Most people at home either buy a freestanding boxing bag or a traditional punching bag. We offer punching bags in 3 sizes: 120 cm, 150 cm and 180 cm.
The smallest, 120 cm, is only suitable for hand techniques and punches. On the larger bags, you can also perform low and high kicks.
It also goes without saying that the larger the punching bag, the heavier it is. This means that the heavier the bag, the less it will swing.
The price difference between the bags is small, so if you have enough space and your walls or ceiling can support a large bag, you are best off choosing the largest one.
For home use, however, the 150 cm punching bag is also perfectly suitable and is therefore the most popular choice.
Of course, we also offer the necessary accessories for installing a punching bag, such as wall brackets, ceiling rings and springs to dampen the noise.
