Boxing is undoubtedly one of the best full-body workouts to try in Singapore if you want to lose weight, improve strength, burn fat, and tone your overall physique. In order to succeed in a boxing exercise program, you need the right boxing gloves. There are a number of choices available in terms of size, weight, and material, so how do you choose the right boxing gloves for you? Here are some tips.

First of all, keep in mind that weight and size are not the same thing. The sizing may correspond with the glove weight, but this is not always true. The key is to choose the right weight depending on how you intend to use the gloves and choose the rightsize depending on your preferred fit.As a general rule:

• 8 to 10 oz is best for competitive boxers
• 12 oz isbest for people with small hands, usually women
• 14 oz isbest for average size people
• 16 oz issuitable forall sizes, best for training
• 18 oz to 20 oz is suitable for larger weight classes

Glove size some in small, medium and large. Boxing gloves should feel snug. This is important. If you wear gloves that are too big, your fingers may get injured. If you intend to buy your gloves online, be sure to purchase them from a Singapore based seller with an excellent returns policy so you can try on the gloves and return them should they be the wrong fit.

Like a good pair of shoes, boxing gloves eventually stretch the more you use them. The boxing gloves you buy online in Singapore might not fit perfectly at first, but they will eventually adjust to your hand. Reminder:Make sure that you leave enough room for your hand wraps.

Competitive boxerstypically go for gloves that are weighted on the back (wrist area) with less padding around the knuckle area. Called ‘puncher’s gloves,’ these gloves are designed for maximum impact on the opponent. If you are simply boxing to lose weight or for overall fitness, though, these types of gloves might not be the best choice for you. Training, cardio boxing, and sparring gloves are usually weighted in the front, with more padding and more protection for the hand.
