Water Bags
Along with a completely unique feel and more realistic impact, water heavy bags provide a more forgiving target that extends less strain and stress on the hands, fists, wrists, elbows, and shoulders during training. Water heavy bags also provide the most lifelike and authentic training experience, in addition to reduced bag movement. Water heavy bags are quickly becoming a favorite of amateur and professional boxers, as well as fitness boxers for the incredible feel and realistic resistance and workout experience.
There are many reasons and benefits why an athlete may choose to use an aqua bag over a traditional heavy bag. Since an aqua bag is filled with water, as opposed to regular foams and fiber filling, it tends to be heavier. If you prefer a bag that doesn’t swing as much or have as much movement, the water-filled design provides that. Traditional filling also just absorbs the impact of a punch, whereas water bags disperse the impact similarly to a ripple effect after throwing a stone into the water. This lessens the shock of the blow, making it easier on the joints and ligaments. This effect is better for long term training, since there is less wear-and-tear on the bones and body.
Water bags also provide the user with a real, human-like feel when they are struck. The “give” they produce on impact can make the workout more realistic and fun.
Another benefit of using an aqua bag is that it requires more effort. Water bags form around your fist when it makes contact, so it requires more effort to bring your punches back to their original position. It is like the benefits and difficulty of running on a sandy beach, where your feet sink in with every stride.
Another type of heavy bag that falls into the category of water bags is the free-standing type. This style of free standing punching bag incorporates the water in a different way, where water is used to fill a plastic base. This is done instead of using sand or another source of weight that is expensive to ship or difficult to fill or remove. Although using a water-filled base for a free-standing heavy bag doesn’t provide any of the punching experience benefits, it does make it easier and more practical for someone wanting to move it from place to place.
There are some traditionalists who may never replace their tried-and-true, fiber filled heavy bag, but for someone wanting a realistic, progressive boxing workout, a water bag is the right move to make.
