How Do You Build A Heavy Bag For Boxing?
While heavy bags may be purchased from your local sporting good store, a fun and cheap alternative is to build your own heavy bag. For a very small price you can purchase the materials needed to make a safe, secure and long-lasting heavy bag. It can provide years of training and exercise. Step 1 Line the bag with foam. Create a layer of foam for the entire bottom, top and around the sides. Place the foam into the bag as a liner. Save the top layer of foam for the end. Step 2 Weight the bag. Make several bags of sand, of roughly one to two inches of sand. Fill in the heavy bag with these bags, while placing equal layers of old clothes and foam so that the heavy bag is filled uniformly. Step 3 Fill in the top with the layer of foam created previously. Step 4 Place as much foam and old clothes as possible to eliminate holes and air in the heavy bag. Step 5 Tie the bag with a heavy-duty tie. Ensure that it is stable and filled uniformly before using.
