The heavy bag, also known as a punching bag, is an iconic piece of boxing equipment that has stood the test of time. It has been used by boxers and Muay Thai fighters for years.
This tried and tested piece of equipment has shaped many champions in the ring and continues to be an important piece of any gym.
Heavy bag workouts improve technique, increase power and strength, build better balance and coordination, and reduce stress. For these reasons, heavy bag workouts are great not just for the pros, but for anyone looking to improve their physical fitness.
That is why it is so important to know how to choose a punching bag in order to start mastering both simple and complex punching techniques.
How to fill the punching bag?
The filling must be such that after the impact the shape returns to its original state, but at the same time it does not spring and the fist does not sink into its structure.
Let us take a closer look at the materials used by official manufacturers.
Textile rags are the most popular type of filling. This padding protects the arms and joints of the athlete from injury or damage during all types of work on the projectile. The density of the filling is adjustable.
Another high quality material. Although bags with it are soft, they are quite heavy and resilient. Good cushioning ensures that even the hardest impact will not hurt an athlete's hands. The filling does not wick away during use and does not decay or grow mouldy. Furthermore, it does not harm the upholstery. Most modern manufacturers produce a mixed version - leather and rag. This makes the shells even more functional and durable.
Therefore, in its pure form it is rarely used, but is combined with some opening agent - sawdust, crumbs of rubber, granules. Sand and sawdust will add weight and density to your punching bag that you wouldn't be able to get with just clothes. If you're looking for a punching bag that requires more force, sand or sawdust is an easy, affordable option.
