Ready to start boxing with a heavy bag? Need beginner heavy bag gloves? We’ve rounded up the BEST boxing gloves for a heavy bag. Here’s what you need to know. In this video, FightCamp Trainer Coach PJ shares the best boxing gloves for a heavy bag and working out at home.
Do I Need Boxing Gloves For a Heavy Bag?
The short answer is yes. Punching a heavy bag with gloves increases punch power and endurance--the added protection of the boxing gloves allows you to deliver stronger punches. Heavy bag boxing gloves also provide additional support to your wrist and protect your knuckles, minimizing the risk of injury.
What Weight Boxing Gloves Should I Get?
This is a common question that many beginner boxers have. Boxing gloves are sized using ounces.
Hanging heavy bags can weigh anywhere between 70 to 150 pounds, while freestanding heavy bags can weigh 350+ pounds. Workouts on heavy bags are usually focused on strength training as the heavy bag resists your strikes more than a normal bag.
How To Choose The Best Boxing Gloves For a Heavy Bag
Spending any amount of money on a new hobby, workout, or lifestyle can seem daunting at first. We have compiled a list and evaluated some of the best heavy bag gloves for beginners. These are the four factors to consider when purchasing your first pair of heavy bag gloves:
- Safety - Look for wrist support and proper padding
- Quality & Durability - How long will these boxing gloves last you during training?
- Price - What are you willing to invest to buy gloves for boxing training?
