The regular punching bag is a common tool for physical fitness. Professional athletes, amateur sportsmen and the general consumer all have uses for it, which include training, physical conditioning, relieving stress and blowing off steam in a healthy way. Of course, we’re accustomed to seeing the type of punching bag hanging from a rope on a ceiling or dangling from a chain on its own holding stand. However, a company called Domyos recently created a different kind of punching bag for personal exercise.
They call it the Interactive Boxing System. Instead of a conventional punching bag hanging from a ceiling or personal stand, this fitness tool is actually mounted on your wall to make sure it’s kept at the right height for the user at all times. This boxing set features an adjustable rack, a small LCD display for showing your numerical score and sensors and LEDs within the bag that track the areas where your punches have landed. The Interactive Boxing System is also comes with ten fitness programs for cardio exercise and personal training in self-defense.
However, the two main parts of the Interactive Boxing System have to be purchased separately. The adjustable rack is available for $97 while the actual punching bag costs $182. This doesn’t seem like a great deal for the consumer since the individual parts are sold individually. In a practical sense, you can’t really use one unless you have the other too. Nonetheless, a more significant issue might be the stress that the wall may take as you dish out a flurry of blows on the punching bag. Personally, I wonder if Domyos actually considered that potential problem and designed their product accordingly to make sure the wall doesn’t get damaged.
