Making anyone engaged with exercise can be difficult, however, we found boxing can be a great introduction to exercise, discipline, weight loss, and fun. That’s why in this article, we will be showing you the best 3ft punch bag sets we offer.
At Sporteq, we truly believe that your health is your wealth, and we want to help you know what your options can be when it comes to looking after your physical health. As we continue, will be sharing with you the amazing health benefits of boxing.
What boxing can do for you
Boxing is a contact sport in which athletes fight each other via punching, which scores points that are then tallied by judges at the end of the allocated rounds, or they can win via KO (Knockout).
Even though the nature of boxing is technique driven, physically demanding and dangerous (if there are no professionals there to coordinate). You don’t need to have an opponent if you want to practice your technique or get on the path to start improving your general health through boxing.
Boxing can be considered an aerobic sport, meaning you need to have an aerobic capacity (or develop one) to be able to be proficient or see the benefits of it. Boxing has many benefits, this includes:
Improves balance and coordination
Throwing punches to a specific area, using combos and utilising footwork to able to dodge your opponent and manoeuvre around them to land a clean hit, are key features of boxing. As such, the routine of practising these elements leads to your body adapting and improving your baseline balance and coordination.
Improves concentration
A professional boxer or even anyone with sufficient practice is able to dodge, punch, and manoeuvre to a new position within seconds. This is a result of focusing on the movement of their opponent or practice gear, whilst also focusing on how and where they are going to move in response.
As with physical conditioning, over time, boxing provides mental conditioning through harnessing focus. This improved concentration can be used in many other areas of your life and develops a level of discipline.
Stress relief
Everybody expresses stress differently, some people can lash out, slam doors, shout or even be physical. Although this is the worst way to express stress, it must be noted that boxing provides an opportunity for that stress to be released through the hitting of the punch bag, a healthier and safer alternative for everybody.
Weight loss
Due to the aerobic demand of boxing, punching, dodging and moving for three-minute rounds, people who are not used to prolonged physical activity may find that they lose weight as a result.
Confidence booster
Boxing, as with any physical activity can boost your confidence the more you do it. This is because your consistency will be rewarded through results, whether it’s better technique, weight loss, or even feeling your improvement compared to when you first started. This empowerment and self-belief that you attain through your own actions will boost your confidence and can help your mental health.
With all of these mental and physical benefits, it is not hard to see the popularity of boxing and how people use it as an entry-level sport to begin their journey of physical fitness. With that being said, we at Sporteq are here to provide you with tools for your fitness journey through our 3ft punchbag sets.
Boxing safely
We always recommend attending classes in which a professional will guide you in using the right technique, drills and equipment needed for boxing. We advise purchasing your own equipment as sharing gloves and hand wraps with others is unhygienic and unsafe due to the amount people generally sweat during boxing. We advise you to get your own:
- Handwraps – fabric wrapping that goes around the wrist, hands, knuckles and fingers. Correct hand wrapping leads to the fists, wrists and knuckles being supported and cushioned, whilst protecting your knuckles from friction burns. Enabling you to punch with no problem.
- Boxing gloves – They can come in different sizes and materials, our best advice for beginners is to start with a lightweight glove, to allow your arms to get used to punching with an added weight on the hands. Boxing gloves further facilitate the safety features of hand wraps, whilst also protecting the fingers and knuckles directly from the repetitive impact of punching.

Through the range of fitness equipment we provide, we would like to highlight our punchbag sets, which offer a great addition to home gyms, or if you run a boxing gym.
Please note that these can also be used as a kid’s punchbag as long as there is adult/ professional supervision.
