Purchasing the correct Everlast Heavy Bag

Heavy bag workouts are an amazing way to help us get into shape. But in order to get the most out of it we need to be sure to purchase the correct heavy bag. Everlast heavy bags are usually a perfect start for beginners; this is because Everlast have been designing boxing equipment for almost 100 years. There are a large number of heavy bag sizes; they can vary from 50lbs to 150lbs. Bags over 100lbs are ideal for people who want to apply more force to their Everlast heavy bag, the only danger of the heavier bags is that they can apply a lot of pressure on your hands and wrists every time you throw a punch, therefore you’ll need extra protection. If you purchase a lighter heavy bag you’ll have less pressure added to your hands and wrists however, the main issue here is that it may swing around a lot more every time you throw a punch.Do not be alarmed by these factors, as I will show exactly how to use them to your advantage. The first step is to discover your motive for wanting to start a heavy bag workout, i.e. it could be to:Tone up?Lose weight?Gain strength?Reduce stress?Build muscle?General fitness?For those of us who would prefer to reduce stress, build muscle or gain strength we’ll most likely favour a somewhat heavier heavy bag, as we’ll need to apply more force to the Everlast heavy bag to achieve these goals. The explanation for this is that the heavier bags will not swing around as much, allowing us to throw a barrage of punches at the heavy bag without having to realign it.On the other hand, when we’re looking to lose weight, tone-up or build stamina, then we’ll benefit from a 70lb Everlast heavy bag. The reason for this is firstly, you will not be looking to hit the bag too hard in your training sessions, and secondly when the bag swings you can take this to your advantage to work your entire body, as many boxers use this to work on their body movement as well as their punches by using effective movement to avoid the bag as it swings their way.These are a few of the key elements to take into consideration when purchasing your Everlast Heavy bag. Although, be sure to remember to always use boxing wraps when working on the heavier heavy bags, as they can tend to apply a lot of pressure on your hands and wrists!
