Buy Punching Bag in Singapore online

Posted by Gymsportz Fitness on October 26th, 2015

Are you interested in buying a punching bag in Singapore to add to your home gym? Punching bags come in a wide variety of sizes, colours, and materials. You need to consider your level of fitness as well as the intensity at which you plan to train when choosing the right punching bag. Below are thethree factors on the basis of which you will find general types of punching bags in Singapore:

• Weight - Punching bags range from 60lb to 100lbs
• Filling -Some are filled with sand, old rags, and some are filled with water
• Material covering -Punching bags are usually covered in either vinyl, canvas, or leather
  

Choosing the Right Weight

As a rule, a heavier bag will make a workout more difficult because more weight provides more resistance. Heavier bags are designed to withstand more force as you punch before moves around. Choosing the wrong weight can injure your fingers, wrist, and even your legs (if you kick the bag). As your strength improves over time, you can upgrade to a heavier bag.

So what is the formula for picking the right weight? Experts recommend that you buy a punching bag that weighs half your weight. So if you weigh150lbs, the ideal bag for you is 75lbs (after filing).

Safety reminder: A heavy punching bag needs to be 100% secured to the floor or a stable beam so that it doesn’t fall during use.

Choosing the Right Fill

The materials used to fill the bag direct impacts of how it feels when stuck. The sand filling isavoided because it tends to sink to the bottom and create an unbalancedfeel. Water bags are said to feel the most realistic, the bladders may crack over time. Shredded old rags are recommended.

Choosing the Right Covering

The three main punching bag coverings in the market these days are vinyl, canvas, and leather (usually synthetic). High-quality leather-like vinyl tends to last longer and stand up to frequent beating.

Other Considerations

Standard hanging or standing punching bags are designed for general training. If you are doing Muay Thai, a banana bag might be better for you, as the increased height makes it moreversatile for different punches and kicks. If it’s realism you are after, a body bag lets you practice jabs, uppercuts,hooks, and kicks like you would to an actual opponent. Think about your training goals and level of physical fitness before buying a punching bag in Singapore to get the best value.
