Beginner Here - Heavy Bag Question

I would get a decent pair of new gloves and definitely wrap the hands. Don't go to cheap with the gloves because price usually = quality for them.

 

Definitly use wraps!

 

Defenitly wraps + gloves or else your in for sore hands in the long run.

 

it also depends what kind of bag u bought,the old traditional bag-if the gloves look like boxing gloves and u can fit wraps under them it would be wise to,some bag gloves look like ufc gloves which wont have room for wraps if you hadnt already bought a bag i would recomend a water bag they are alot easier on your joints and hands i have a 100 pound water bag that i hung in my garage for a year so i added 2 or so gallons of antifreeze but now i got a house so its in the basement any ways ther just as good and durable and alot better on yer body-cheap too make sure u hang yer bag high enough to connect solid at yer face level -a common mistake is always punching chest level

 

have u read yer answers yet ,also check your messages

 

i herd if you use wraps your gloves well last longer!!
cause if you don't the inside of your gloves well rip little by little...
is it true?

 

you 400lbs

if you trying to lose weight I suggest you try running first

do alot of running to build up your basic fitness and losr some weight

then biring bag work into it after a while and maybe then some floor excerices and stuff

thats the order I would do it in if I was out of shape

 

I don't recommend running for anybody that's 400 lbs. I would stick to hitting a bag, swimming and riding a bike.

The impact on your knee's will destroy them in a short period of time.

 

Thats a good point - I would do running - but then again I am not 400 LBS

maybe walking and build up to running

My thinking is just do something like that to build up your basic fitness and get some weight off then move on to other excerices as well

 

:yep

Try swimming, good aerobic exercise, but without the wear on the joints.

 

and consult a doctor before u start...

 

Running is a big no no at that weight, that's how many people willing to lose weight end up ****ed up, they will injure themselves badly. I think heavybag workout is fine, he'll get his heart rate up and his metabolism going and that's what matters. For weight loss the more important thing right now is the diet that accompanies it.

 

U Weight 400lbs???????
