Punch Bags

Anyone recommend a decent but cheap bag for a bit of cardio work?

Depends on your situation. Do you have the ability to screw in a bracket and get a "proper bag"? I find the floor standing ones with sand / water in the bag to be very naff indeed.

Yep can wallmount if needed.

Nice! You can pick up some good bags for about £70 - then it all depends on your bracket. Theres a good enough Everlast bag in Argos last time I checked for about £60, it comes with a little d-clip on the bottom too so you can clip it to the floor so you can really bang some leather without it flying around too much.

Otherwise you need a real heavy bag

Are any of them Weatherpoof? I would prefer to fit one outside?

With enough gaffer tape, anything can be made weatherproof

this is correct, you need a heavy bag (as heavy as a person) or a light bag which is attached top and bottom. you don't want to be punching a light bag swinging violently towards you, it will seriously mess up your wrists.

if mounting is a problem then wavemaster is the best you can buy but its about £300
