Boxing Gloves

[kswjetski]

Looking for a recommendation from the experts I am at an intermediate level and wondering if I should get the 8oz or 12oz boxing glove. I do not do much of the kickboxing videos, so in that regard I would be a beginner. What would you all recommend for Hardstrikes?


Thanks,

Krista

I would actually recommend trying the workout first without them to assess your comfort level. I just did Hardstrikes without gloves, and I could not have done it with them. Maybe someday, but I'm fine without them for now.

If you are at an intermediate level, I really think you will be fine with the 12 oz. Everlast gloves. They really do not feel that heavy. If you are even thinking about the 8 oz., I would not think the extra 4 oz. would be much more of a challenge.

I have the 12 oz and they are great and fun. I am not super advanced. I am just on the line between intermediate and advanced. This is why I am thinking these should be good for you.

I bought the 8 oz. off ebay not paying attention to the weight. Although I was disappointed that they weren't the same weight as Cathe & crew, I got an awesome burn from the 8 oz.

Did that workout Thursday with the heavy bag bonus and I was dripping in sweat...REALLY!
