Heavy Bag: Dangling versus Grounded

[Youngblood]

I was looking to get a ground based one too cuz i have nowhere to hang a real one, but it looks like the base gets in the way of your feet. Thoughts??

I think it is important to first know why you want a bag. A hanging bag, and a decent and heavier one will always be best, but not always practical. For example if you are a person just looking to get in shape and space is minimal then maybe a floor bag is okay for you.

If you plan on taking boxing seriously, then a hanging one anchored from a ceiling is really a must. As mentioned in here though...It will rock your house as in my case as it is screwed to the ceiling supports in my basement...and the whole house shakes when I hit it. But I have plenty of room to move around it and try just to not use it if others are watching tv or something upstairs.

Weight is important for the hanging bags. Not sure why they even sell these 60 lbs bags. Because people will buy them I suppose...but they fly all over the place and pretty much defeat the purpose of a heavy bag workout.
