Overview

A boxing speed bag is a great tool for teaching boxing and it is also a wonderful cardiovascular tool. Many boxers and non-boxers love working on the speed bag because success on the bag indicates quickness and excellent hand-eye coordination. It's fairly easy to hang a speed bag in your basement or workout area. If you have about 1 1/2 hours, tools and inclination, you can put up the speed bag without any assistance. The bag and the hanging bracket will weight about 5 lbs.
