Choose a TKO Heavy Bag for a Great Workout

By Greg Handchild

One of the most well-known brands of boxing equipment in the world is TKO. You get the best with a TKO heavy bag; for an affordable price you get a well-built and dependable product. These bags that hang are constructed from different materials and they come in different weights. If you want a good boxing workout, a quality bag is vital to your success.

TKO has been making boxing bags for many years and has been an innovator from the beginning. They were the first to offer a high quality vinyl heavy bag. The bag offers the feel of leather without the maintenance of leather. It rivals the durability and will stand up to harsher conditions, such as an hot and humid workout center that lacks air conditioning.

For more extreme conditions, TKO is there to help; opt for their heavy bag that is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. This well-built bag has a waterproofed outer layer. This means the bag can be used outside for years to come; you don?t need to worry about it getting wet or damaged. A boxing bag designed for outdoor use is ideal for at-home training, but without the space inside.

TKO not only manufacturers bags for at-home use, but commercial purposes as well; these are typically leather and canvas bags. These bags are used for specific reasons. With a canvas bag, boxers are encouraged to hit the middle of the bag because grazing your hand on the side of the bag (even with gloves) can hurt. Leather is not only ideal for boxing, but practice for street fighting and martial arts; these are sports in which gloves are rarely used.

TKO heavy bags are always available in different weights. Their lighter bags tend to come in at around forty pounds and they are ideal for teenagers and small adults. The average adult can get away with a mid-weight bag that weights in at around sixty-five to seventy pounds; bags over one hundred pounds are available for extreme training.

TKO heavy bags come with a wide range of different fillers; this selection is to cater to their customer?s different wants and needs. Popular bags are known as soft filled bags; the dense fibers absorb almost all impact. You will also find bags that are filled with sand and a very dense bag that is known as a hyrdrobag. These are bags that you feel with water; don?t worry (I know what you are thinking), but they won?t leak and will withstand years of abuse!

The choice of bag material is subjective. Sand filled bags are the classic but can feel more like punching a brick wall than sand at times. Water filled bags have become popular because they are denser than the fiber filled bags but absorb more of the impact; not to mention the fact that they are much less expensive to ship.

TKO is famous for their quality boxing bags as well as other boxing equipment. TKO heavy bags are no exception. The choices available are impressive and anyone can find the right TKO bag for them. - 29951
