Gloves

[tygra]

Hi Cathe,

I want to let you know I started using your videos a few months ago and have noticed huge changes and absolutely love them! My fitness level is much stronger now! Thank you!!

I have a question - in KPC and KM you and your team are wearing gloves. Are these weighted gloves? How heavy is each glove? I currently have gloves that are 1# each and wondering if I need to find something a little heavier that doesn't slide when sweating and punching.

Thank you!!

They aren't wearing gloves, but hand wraps (held on with some extra black tape to keep them from unraveling).

Hi Jane! Rather than go bare handed, we wore wraps which gave it more of an authentic feel and better wrist support while punching. Doing this is not necessary but I have to say that I get much more into my workouts when I am wrapped then when I am not. If your interested:

Thanks so much for your reply!

I've actually been doing KM and KPC with 1# gloves. Oops!! Well, it does make it a good workout!!

Thanks again and hope your recovery is going well.

I do all my kickboxing workout with 1# gloves (something I've been doing for a couple of years).
