What should a boxer have in their bag?
As a professional boxing coach, I often get asked what essential items boxers should keep in their gym bags. Here's a list of the most important gear:
- Gloves: The right pair of gloves is crucial for protecting your hands and punching with power.
- Hand wraps: Wraps provide support and stability to your wrists and knuckles.
- Headgear: Protects your head from impact and reduces the risk of concussions.
- Mouthguard: A custom-fitted mouthguard prevents tooth damage and jaw injuries.
- Groin protector: For additional protection during sparring and training sessions.
- Shorts and tank top: Comfortable and breathable clothing that allows for unrestricted movement.
- Towel: To wipe away sweat and keep your hands dry.
- Water bottle: Hydration is essential for any workout.
- Light snacks: Energy bars or fruit to refuel after training.
- Jump rope: Great for warm-ups and cardio.
