what is the best option for a punching bag?

You can choose from several types of punching bags such as the water bag or the pear bag as well as the anchored punching bag or a stand up punching bag. Any option is valid as long as it meets your needs and goals for your training. You are sure to find the one that best fits the space you have available.

The recommendation when choosing a punching bag is to choose the kilos at half your body weight. For example, if you weigh 80 kilos, you should choose a 40 kilo punching bag. The quick explanation to that is that if you are starting out and use a heavier bag you could injure yourself. It could be too aggressive on your joints, which would be counterproductive.

Another option is to buy a stand up punching bag that is widely used by amateurs and professionals alike. The good thing about the stand up punching bag is that you don't need to anchor it or hang it anywhere. If you don't have strong enough walls, this type of punching bag is a much safer option. In addition, you can move your training to the space that best suits you, and even try training outdoors if you feel like it.

Materials and types of punching bags to invest in

Water bags, for example, are another option among the punching bags you can choose from. Water punching bags absorb punches very well, which gives them a realistic feel that expert levels like very much.

On the other hand, you can also choose from boxing stations that are a good companion to the stand up punching bag. They work very well in centers or venues with little space or with walls that are not very resistant and give you all the security of being able to hit as hard as you want.
