Can you use these alone for intense work outs? I got a wavemaster xxl punching bag.

I would honestly not use them for any workout. They are pretty uncomfortable. The fist/hit is not balanced so it comes out weird and you can even hurt your hand. Finally, they totally destroy the skin around my hands in just a few minutes. I prefer to use mexican hand/wrist bands. They really protect you and the fist/hitting is more natural and you get a better feel for it. Plus they are only like 3 bucks. Once you get the hang out of it, you can put them on in a minute.

I wouldn't. They provide some wrist support, but I think you are risking some damage if you aren't wrapped up, and properly padded. I like these for getting a good cardiovascular workout on the bag. They are so much easier to put on by yourself, that they are great for that type of exercise.

I wouldn't. They are not intended to be used alone for hard punching. They are meant to be worn under bag gloves.

These are supposed to be used inside a glove, but, I would never use them, because they do not offer thumb support. Title does make "Fighting Sports" glove wraps, and those are fantastic, under a glove, to replace conventional wrapping, and they do have great thumb support, which is an absolute necessity. This is my strong opinion, because I would not want anyone hurting their hand, when title, has a much better glove wrap to offer, in "Fighting Sports". All the best!!

I have the same wraps and the same exact bag. The answer is yes, but ensure you are using good punching form and not for extended periods. After a while or after successive days your knuckles do feel the beating. These wraps are great and highly recommended - they are lightweight, offer good wrist support, and mobility but for really intense or extended heavy bag sessions you will want to consider real bag gloves. This is my plan and I am going to purchase bag gloves for this reason in the near future. Happy training!

hi, i tried to do that but definitely this product is to protect your hand inside of boxing glove.
282344
Yes for sure. I am using them on a standard canvas heavy bag and a speed bag with no wear or pain issues. I am impressed with them.

Definitely would NOT use these for yoga.... as far as resistance training with machines, they are good to use on your heaviest sets. =]

Yes, absolutely. I use them for 30-minute kickboxing workouts which require a somewhat tight fist so they would defintely work for making a loose fist for jogging.

Yes, my personal trainer actually recommended I get these so I can work out in my hotel room when I'm traveling. You can make the exercises as hard or easy as you like depending on how you distance yourself from the straps. I definitely would recommend - I am a novice exerciser!

Yes. They are very decent for training and hitting the bags, even sparring. They just hurt my fingers when worn with MMA gloves.

I suppose you could try but you would ruin them pretty quickly. They aren't designed for moisture beyond sweat in a workout.

depends on how hard you pull. I use them for working out too. What are you going to do with them?

Before using these, and I still do, I use vinyl-covered hex-ended dumbells to do pushups with mostly in fitness classes and at the gym. Personally it is more comfortable to be able to put your hands at an angle that you like or want to work with. I have sort of bad wrists, and doing pushups with my hands flat on the ground is not comfortable for more than a few pushups. I can do far more with my hands wrapped around a handle like these or on dumbells.

I would say yes. Way better than using true boxing gloves and they still give you protection while working out.

I wouldn't recommend it. The whole point of these lighter, fingerless gloves is so that they can be used for mixed martial arts, where you may have to grip/grapple with your opponent. I would recommend going for the heaviest boxing gloves that fit you (I wear and would recommend 16 oz gloves, but some some women/smaller people/people with smaller hands will wear 12 or 14 oz gloves). These a) give you more protection and allow you to hit the bag harder without fear of injury and b) give you a better workout. Think of it like wearing a weighted vest while working out-one that protects you as well (they do actually sell weighted hand wraps and even weighted shinguards for kickboxing). If you're interested in actually fighting (which is usually done with smaller gloves), your punches will be that much more powerful/quicker if you train with heavier gloves.

It would definitely be useful working out with dumbells. I use mine for just about every activity I do which includes working out with dumbells. Can't beat the price.

I did, worked out perfectly. I have one on each side, they held a lot more than I was expecting :-)
1395916
yes - i use them for that also! added bonus use of the straps - my trainer showed me how to use this and since there are three different bands - you can work up to the thickest band for more resistance.
358235
Yes, you can use them with solo. There is no volume knob and it is not an original cable.

The knuckles are exposed. They are probably not good for activities that include punching. Still nice to use to enhance your workout.
586336
Most definitely. No reason why you couldn't do curls or shoulder presses as you don't need a ton of space. These bands are the best I've ever used.

I'm sure you CAN, but that isn't what they are designed for. I would recommend getting actual weightlifting gloves with the proper grip for the bar. These are better suited for shadowboxing and kickboxing type workouts.
