Beginners often need a smaller, lightweight bag, while advanced exercisers may require a heavier, longer bag.

One more thing – be careful when filling the bag with water or sand as many complain about the rather problematic process of pouring. With a BOB dummy, the punches and kicks can feel a lot more realistic than with a heavy bag since it is made of high-quality materials that mimic the human torso.
