What is a reflective bag?
Reflective bag is a piece of fitness equipment used specifically in sports such as boxing and martial arts. It consists of a round, padded circular bag on the top of the loaded spring of the attached weighted base. If you want to use this device, one blows a bag that bends back in the spring and returns to the impact point. So many athletes use this type of punch bags to improve eye coordination, timing and perfect defensive movements.
Depending on how hard the bag hits, the spring allows the bending movement that can even cause the bag to hit the floor. Then the bag can imitate the opponent's blow by returning quickly to the user. In this way, the reflective bag tests the accuracy and timing of the user.
One can choose how to hit the bag when returning. Another possibility is to practice swing and weaving as if it was dodging. This is done with a quick foot, a fall and a quick movement of the head. Blocking the ton bag or body is another wayHow to train with unique movements of this equipment.
Reflective bag differs from heavy bag, commonly used boxers and for strength training. A heavy bag generally allows the user to land stronger wounds, a combination of blows and kicks. Those who try to use a reflective bag for these purposes often consider the device unknown. Some complain that a smaller, lighter bag only works on the arms, while a heavy bag supports overall body training. However, believers in a reflective bag point out that the use of devices as if fighting a real opponent should require a wide range of maneuvers, resulting in demanding cardio exercises.
Proper punching techniques and boxing accessories are important to prevent injury when using this device. One can wrap his hands and wrists with a long cotton strip that helps stabilize the joints.Boxer gloves that offerPadding along the joints and reinforcement on the wrist could also be beneficial for this exercise. One should practice the right form by hitting the bag along the joints of the index and the middle fingers, keeping your wrist straight and giving your body weight for each wound.
Many people consider the reflective bag not only useful but easy to start in the home. Its relatively light base, which holds up to £ 60 (27.3 kilograms), is less difficult to move than much heavier punch bags. Skinny structure of the device also gives its easy storage.
