Choosing the correct weight of a punching bag
September 28th, 2009 . by adminSimply buying a punching bag is not enough as its weight and sway are very important. Some people may require more heavy bags while others may need a little less heavy bag. Generally speaking, any male with an average height of 5’8”and weighing about 170 lbs should buy a bag of 60 – 70 lbs. A 100 lbs punching bag is more suitable for professional or heavier hitters. Too much sway will make kicking difficult and too little sway will make it hard and less able to absorb the impacts which may result in bone or tendon injuries. So, purchasing a punching bag should be done with care. Checkout Punching Bag Review to learn more about choosing the correct size punching bag for you.
