Everlast is one of the leading manufacturers of boxing equipment and has been for decades. The company's boxing gloves, heavy bags, speed bags, floor-to-ceiling bags and boxing shoes make it simple for a fighter who is interested in training to keep his skills up and work out before a scheduled bout.
Speed Bag Training
Using the speed bag is one of the most essential tools that a boxer has available during training. The speed bag helps improves a boxer's quickness, endurance and punching accuracy. The Everlast speed bag hangs on a swivel and rebounds off of a supporting ring. When you hit the bag with your left jab, allow it to hit the back rim, rebound to the front rim and then hit the back rim before hitting it again. Hit the speed bag for three minutes at a time because this is the same amount of time you will hit the bag for when you are in the ring for a round of boxing.
Heavy Bag
The Everlast heavy bag is designed to build strength and functional power in the boxing ring. When you hit the heavy bag correctly, you are not just punching with your fists. You will be using your entire body to generate power. Punching power is generated with the legs, travels through the torso and is concentrated in the shoulder, arm and fist when you deliver the punch.
Jump Rope
Fighters have been training with jump ropes to build quickness, speed and endurance for generations. Skipping rope is a great way to get ready for any exercise session including speed bag work, heavy bag training, sparring and shadow boxing. When you jump rope, you do significant cardiovascular exercise. That's essential when it comes to preparing to get in the ring.
Sparring
Everlast is one of the leading manufacturers of protective head gear for boxing. When you spar, you will wear protective equipment to keep from getting hurt by your opponent's punches. He will do the same as well. Head gear protects you and allows you to get in the ring with far less fear than if you were not wearing the equipment. The head gear will absorb hard punches to the forehead and the side areas of the head. It will not stop punches that are directed at the mouth, nose and eyes.
