Century BOB Freestanding Punch Bag Height Adjustable 60-78 inches

Product Information

FITVEN's Freestanding Punching Bag is easy to assemble and comes with boxing gloves, all at a budget-friendly price. Thanks to its 360-degree use, the bag allows you to move all the way around it for a more dynamic workout, with a smaller footprint. Then, six testers, including a boxing coach, tested 15 punching bags in the Verywell Testing Lab. Each bag was tested with three different workouts that included an easy workout, a brisk-tempo workout, and a high-intensity workout. All workouts were at least 5-10 minutes long and incorporated upper and lower body moves. The punching bags were rated from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) in effectiveness, comfort, ease of use, durability, and value. The exercise allows you to practice hitting specific parts of your opponent’s body that are most likely to be damaging. So let's talk about the pros of BOB. First, let me say outright that this is my favorite piece of training equipment. I've got all kinds of heavy bags and water bags all types of different punching bags. This is the go-to bag that I use the most. And I think it's because it's soft, which makes it easy on the joints it's realistic, and I don't know, there's just something I like about working out with him. A second pro with bob is that he's great at using angle shots. So many of the strikes that I use whether they're palm heels that come up or hammer fish that come down, or even uppercuts are all really difficult to practice on a regular heavy bag because it's just vertical. But you've got all these great angles with bob and is very realistic, so you can practice all of those. Look for bags made from heavy-duty, high-quality materials. Although they’re pricier, bags that are wrapped in real or synthetic leather or high-quality vinyl are much more durable than those made with other materials. Foam liners or fillers will offer a more consistent feel when you strike.

The polyethylene base is filled with water or sand and is round, so that you can easily change your position while rolling Remember, that in contrast to the free-standing equipment, this bag tends to swing and some of the techniques cannot be worked on it. Despite this, the model is ideal for rookie fighters and for those who want to let off steam under the guidance of a coach to avoid injuries. But don’t forget that for a 70-pound bag, you still need to find a comfortable place that gives a margin for your manoeuvres. Hitting a heavy bag repeatedly is undoubtedly a great way to stay fit. It can be an awful lot of fun, too, and the best punching bags will see you through years of enjoyable training in your garage, garden or spare room at home. The most popular items if this category for boxers of a beginner or intermediate level are Century Bob Body Opponent Training Bag and Slam Man Training System. SlamMan was a sales leader for a very long time: people loved him for his training programs, a pair of boxing gloves, training video and feeding program for athletes.You don’t need to worry about lifting it every time you want to use it, so you can fill it up once with water or sand and wheel it around as you wish. What to read next The body opponent bag or simply BOB is perhaps the most promoted alternative to a free-standing punch bag. Those who wish to join martial arts or simply get a bag or a pear ball to let off steam ask themselves very often the following questions: "Is it worth spending money on a rubber opponent? Does it really help during training?" Answers vary: some say, "Yes, BOB will turn you into a champion" and others suggest spending the money on a trainer. If you want to, you can bring down a hail with powerful punches and hold the inflatable pear ball in a horizontal position. As soon as you stop, the bag will get into the starting position without your help. The pear ball is the easiest one and is even suitable for children. If you're looking for a punching bag to add to your fitness routine , consider the height and weight of the bag. Traditional heavy bags should weigh about half of your body weight, Chris Gagliardi, ACE-CPT, certified personal trainer, health coach, and group fitness instructor says. Beginners often need a smaller, lightweight bag, while advanced exercisers may require a heavier, longer bag. You’ll also want to consider whether a freestanding bag or hanging bag is more appropriate for your space. Children should not use a heavy hanging bag or a hard foam freestanding bag – these are made for adults. To avoid any unnecessary injuries, you should get your child a bag that is designed and marketed specifically for children. The foam in these bags will be softer and therefore they will be safer to use. Inflatable models are also on offer if you want to buy something less expensive to see if your child enjoys punching things in the first place. How much should I spend on a punching bag?

The set comes with hand wraps, an air pump, and a carry bag. As long as you don't mind getting used to this bag's unique physics, we think it's a solid buy. This bag doesn’t come with gloves or wraps. But due to its small size, it can easily fit in any room, with space to move 360 degrees around it for an effective workout. The bag offers a great space-saving option for home gyms that are already filled with other fitness equipment, like treadmills and elliptical machines. A renewed model is available – Century Bob XL with Base Unit. This one includes 2 sets of bolts instead of one set in the previous model. According to the words of customers, it is made still better and is capable of turning around its base. At the bast of the unit is a small screw off cap which you remove when you want to fill it up. I mean this isn’t a huge issue if you’re going to fill it with water, but my brother and I had an awful (and messy!) time trying to fill one of these with sand at one time. And a lot of people will want to use sand. It doesn’t swish around like water does and offers a more stable workout. This little hole will be your bane if you choose to fill BOB with sand! Which leads me to… water!Boxers have used heavy bags as a substitute for real opponents for centuries. Leather, synthetic leather, canvas, or polyurethane are common exterior materials. Depending on how firm we want the heavy bag, we can use various fillings such as clothes, sawdust, rice, sand, rubber, etc. Chains or nylon straps can be used to attach the bag to the anchor.
