Heavy Bags

The classic image of a boxer in training includes the ever-present heavy bag. This training tool is a leather punching bag that is weighted down at the bottom to keep it from swaying. The bag is weighted so that the boxer gets a feel for hitting something solid, while at the same time building strength in the arms, wrists, and hands.

A Boxer's Best Friend
When training with a heavy bag, it's easy for a boxer to get a lot of practice with different swings. Jabs, hooks, and crosses all require plenty of practice to perfect punching form. On top of that, a heavy bag is used to build power in the swing, since it takes quite a punch to even get a heavy bag to budge.

The amount of power it takes to hit a heavy bag goes a long way towards building strength. The boxer gets the aerobic benefit of learning how to put more of his body muscle into a single swing. On top of that, the impact toughens the shoulders and wrists, so that they can comfortably withstand a serious boxing match.
