Punching Gloves

[Ronjacinto83]

I need to know what are some good punching bag gloves I can buy that are not to expensive.

I am looking into working on a punching bag as a cardio workout.

I normally do cardio right after I lift weights. The days I workout my legs I cant hit the treadmill nor the bike so I figure working out on a punching bag will do the trick for me.

Suggestions?

Thanks

go to canadian tire, they have an array of gloves.. Cheap and good just to protect your hands.

also, you will probably be using your legs while punching? I imagine jumping around of some sort..

Whats the difference between the big red ones (sometimes black) and the small black ones?

Im sure the power comes from the legs but working the punching bags looks alot funner (if thats a word) then running a threadmill. haha

Canadian Company, fast shipping from Montreal, great quality products.


This is their selection of specific bag gloves...

The differences are quality of construction, design details, and weight (amount of padding) in ounces.

If you just want to punch the bag once or twice a week you don't need to pay for the higher quality gloves. Get less padding if you also desire some knuckle conditioning.

don't forget hand wraps if you wanna save your bones in your hand.....get a cheap pair of bag gloves and if you desire to get more into it, then hit up a better brand/better quality glove.

I use Twins Boxing myself, or Windy....I was going to get a pair of rival boxing ones though, they look good.

True, skipping would be the ultimate cardio..have to learn that shit.

i have 3 pairs of twins gloves (2 x 16 oz, 1 x 8 oz) and i love them! really comfortable and offers excellent protection.

i've got a used pair of 16oz boes gloves that i haven't used in about 4 yrs now if you're interested. then again, i wouldn't buy a used pair of gloves, myself. lol!

i don't have experience with any other brands but i would presume you wouldn't want to risk injuring your hands by buying 'cheapo' gloves.

have fun!

the cheap everlast ones cost $20 at walmart/canadian tire, and they are the most widely used ones by beginners and are likely the "big red ones" you are talking about. You cant go wrong with them if you are just starting out.

and as mentioned before, get some everlast wraps from there too and learn how to do wrap your hands properly
