What gloves do you use?
I am addicted to my boxing routine and find it to be quite calming when I am hitting the bag. I often use my 16OZ Title Gel bag gloves (leather) with traditional 120 inch cotton hand wraps. I go 15 timed rounds ( 3 minutes) and stuff as many pushups in the 1 minute "rest" between rounds. On good days I go to 20 rounds. I…

Supplements?
Anyone taking L-Arginine/L-Citrulline (500mg each) for Nitric Oxide production during the anaerobic phase of a heavy workout. I get these amino acids (at least the Arginine) in my protein shakes but on heavy workout days I take the extra supplement. If you have any other supplement ideas I am all ears. Tim

Heavy bag routines
New to the group! I have been using the heavy bag for 2 years for my cardio. I have searched for some different exercises that I can build into my routine that either include the bag, or can be done with the gloves on. Is punching the bag also considered a core strength workout? Tim

Punching a heavy bag for cardio
New to MFP: I am looking for guidance on this type of exercise. It seems as if the calorie burn calculator estimates the impact of hitting a heavy bag a bit too high. My workout is vigorous, often spending at least 15 minutes in the anaerobic zone with an average beat per minute in the 160's. I always use a Polar HRM. I…
