The outdoor punching bag is a mobile device that can be installed at home and in the gym. Such a pear does not require special rigid fixation with the help of additional equipment and is adjustable in height.
Types of outdoor punching bags
Pneumatic floor punching bag is a projectile that is much smaller than large punching bags and is an indispensable tool for training the accuracy of strikes and developing reaction. Such a projectile can be attached to a horizontal stand, which is placed at the level of the boxer's head, or it can be attached to stretch marks, one of which is on the floor, the other on the ceiling.
Another type of outdoor punching bag is a large punching bag made of leather, usually in the shape of a cylinder, which is filled with crumb rubber, sand or sawdust. This apparatus is the most rigid type of all boxing tools, its weight varies from 60 to 110 kg. When training with a large outdoor punching bag, the athlete loads the whole body as much as possible and keeps it in shape, since such training quickly gets rid of excess weight. Classes with this shell allow you to work out winning options and strong kicks.
The classic shell is the medium outdoor boxing pear. This option is in demand among novice boxers and is necessary for staging a blow. To make such a pear, use leather and filler - rubber crumb, rags, sawdust. The weight of such equipment ranges from 30 to 60 kg.
What to look for when choosing an outdoor pear
For your training to be beneficial, consider several important factors when buying a boxing equipment. In this way, your workouts will be the most productive and safest.
First, correlate your weight with the weight of the pear you intend to purchase. A projectile that is too light will not give you the necessary load and training with it will be ineffective. If the instrument is very heavy, you simply cannot move it, which will also degrade the quality of your practice. The best option is an outdoor pear, which weighs a little more than yours.
The second criterion that cannot be ignored when choosing a projectile is rigidity. A pear that is too hard can injure the joints of the hand, however, as well as an overly soft one. To choose the most suitable option, hit the projectile several times right in the store.
And the last thing to consider when choosing a pear is the material from which it is made. The best shells are made from genuine leather, as leatherette or vinyl will quickly deteriorate. As a filler, the best option is rubber crumb, it does not go down, does not rot and serves for a long time.
