Types of Punching Bags
There are three types of punching bags.
- Heavy Punching Bag OR Hanging Punch Bag
- Freestanding Punching Bag
- Speed Bag
1.) Heavy Punching Bag OR Hanging Punch Bag
These bags weigh from 70 to 150 Pounds. These bags are also called hanging punching bags because they are hung with the ceiling and filled with cloth. These bags are outstanding for kicking and punching standing.
I want to add a critical point before installing the bag; you should have a good idea that the ceiling can’t bear a heavy bag’s weight. So iKnowing about the space around the punch bag would be best to practice quickly.
2.) Free Standing Punch Bag
If you have space issues in your home for a punching workout, then a freestanding punch is one of the best options.
This bag is easy to carry. When you are trying to purchase a standing punch bag, the bag’s base should be stable; otherwise, it will bear the kick and fill down during practice. I will suggest the best companies from which you should buy a freestanding punch bag.
3.) Speed Bag
A speed bag is also called a speedball. Its name shows that this bag moves fast. These bags are smaller than other punching bags and are filled with air.
This bag is used to increase your hand-to-eye coordination and timing. With the practice of a speed bag, you can increase your hand-to-eye coordination.
Workout of Boxing Punch Bags
1.) Power Workout
In this practice, the idea is that you hit the punch bag as hard as you can. Boxing needs endurance, so you should kick or punch the bag hard to increase your endurance.
Most energy comes from your legs, so you should focus on your Footwork if you are a beginner.
Note: During the power workout, always keep your hand up. It is a good habit.
2.) Speed Workout
Most people use the speed bag for speed workouts, but you can also use a heavy or freestanding punch bag for a speed workout.
This Workout will increase your reaction time during the fight. In this Workout, you will do a 3 to 6 mints round with 30-sec rest.
See in this video, Nguyen explains this Workout.
3.) Endurance Workout
Most important workouts in boxing. In this practice, you will increase your endurance, one of the essential boxing factors, using the HIIT technique (High-Intensity Interval training). You will do eight by 30-sec sets with your highest intensity level in this workout.
You can see this in this video.
4.) Footwork
Footwork is the base of our boxing basics. In this Workout, you will move around the bag and keep punching. Move for at least 3 minutes around the boxing bag and then rest for 60 seconds after one round. This practice will increase your timing also.
Punching Accuracy
During the previous practices, we only focused on Speed, endurance, and power. Now in this Workout, you should also increase your punching accuracy. You can also use a Strike 360 free-standing punch bag for this practice, which will be perfect for your accuracy.
