Description
- This application is a non-provisional application of provisional patent application No. 63/218,521, filed on Jul. 6, 2021, and priority is claimed thereto.
- The present invention relates to fitness equipment, and more specifically, fitness equipment employed to practice martial arts, boxing, and other physical impact sports through the use of a freestanding base for an impact bag. The base is configured to be mobile such that stabilizing weights may easily be added or removed as needed.
- Impact bags, such as full-sized punching bags, are known to provide a great workout to users wishing to build muscle while maintaining a high heart rate. An assortment of impact bags are present on the market, the best workout comes from full sized, weighted bags. Many of these bags are conventionally suspended from a chain anchored to the ceiling; however, this arrangement is not always possible. Additionally, installing an impact bag in a suspended fashion means that the bag cannot be moved and used elsewhere.
- Large (body-sized) impact bags exist on the market which are configured to be freestanding such that they rest atop a weighted base. While technically movable, the base of these impact bags are, by necessity, very heavy in order to offset the impacts of the users feet and fists during use, and maintain stability. Additionally, these weighted bases of conventional upright freestanding impact bags are single-purpose as well as cumbersome, as they are relegated solely to impact-based exercises. If there were an impact bag base which could incorporate additional features while remaining easier to move, the functionality of the apparatus would be increased, and the ease of use (including movement-at-will) of the apparatus would be better.
- While small and portable weighted bags are available on the market, such as “speed bags” or “speed balls,” these devices are limited in scope, and do not offer adequate resistance for prolonged training. Instead, these devices are configured to rebound quickly, and are often configured to be suspended. Unlike the impact bags configured to be used with a weighted base, these smaller punching bags are primarily configured to train the user to keep his or her hands up and increase hand-eye coordination of the user. If there were a way in which a large impact bag could exhibit the portability of a smaller bag, while adding additional functionality, users could own less equipment while achieving a greater range of exercises and maintaining the ability to move the apparatus with ease by removing weighted units from the base.
- Thus, there is a need for a new form of base for a freestanding upright punching bag or impact bag which is configured to enable the owner/user to add or remove weight as needed. Such a base is preferably equipped with additional functionality pertaining to exercise routines, such as mounts to facilitate the attachment of resistance bands.
- The present invention is a multi-purpose weighted base for an upright impact bag. The apparatus is configured to be modular such that a user may add or remove weight to or from the base in order to tailor the desired overall weight of the weighted base, as well as to facilitate moving of the base upon removal of all weights from the base. The apparatus is equipped with a housing having an interior which is configured to be filled with weighted units such as sandbags, water, rocks, or similar weighted bodies. The interior is accessible via one or more access doors disposed on sides of the housing. The doors are preferably configured to open about at least one hinge or via a sliding mechanism.
- Additional features are preferably present on an exterior of the housing, which include, but are not limited to “D-Rings” or similarly styled mounting points to which a user may affix one or more resistance bands to facilitate the performance of resistance based exercises with help of the weighted base of the present invention.
- These together with still other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
