which punchbag?

[counttoten]

Hello all,

Looking to get a heavy bag to improve overall fitness.
I have never boxed but think this will be a great supplement to my weight & cardio work so I have a couple of questions borne out of ignorance:-

I have limited room for /the bag, will it swing around a lot when hit or does this depend on the weight of the bag?
I've seen some everlast double-ended heavy bags (though not in the UK) that allow the bottom of the bag to be tethered - anybody any experience with these?
What weight bag is best? I am 16stone.
What brand of bag is best? I have looked for everlast bags as they look really good but can't find any suppliers in the UK.

Thanks in advance

Steve

Hello Mate, welcome to UKM.

You definatly want a heavy bag that wont move around a lot, I prefere a heavy untethered bag, but Justin will be the one to ask.

It is great cardio work, and fun too.
