KP&C gloves

where should i get the gloves for KP&C? I went to Academy and they were $9 per arm. is there anywhere cheaper?
 
I got mine at Wal-Mart for less than $10 for the 3 lb. set (1.5 lbs. per glove). It's by Gold's Gym, I think. My only beef with them is that the glove doesn't extend beyond the wrist, which makes it tricky to keep my wrists straight when punching. Otherwise, they're good enough for the money. Some of these gloves sell fo $25 for a 2-lb. pair (1 lb. per glove).

Cathe is actually wearing unweighted wraps, not weighted gloves.

If you are looking for weighted gloves, I think Target sells them cheaply...
 
Any idea where to get the wraps? I noticed after doing KP&C that my wrist was sore for several days. I think I snapped it too hard on a backfist. It would be great to have something (Wraps or unweighted gloves) that help protect the wrist.

I've found wraps at Dick's Sporting goods. There are also some on-line sources for them at boxing supply stores, like www.ringside.com . If there is a karate school in your town, they may also carry them (I got my first pair from a karate school that taught cardio karate).
 
Pinky...thanks for that info on the gloves at Walmart. They are Gold's Gym and were $9.43 here. I used them yesterday in KPC and it felt great!!....:)...Carole
 
Hey Carole, you're very welcome. It's amazing how intense those 1.5 pounders can feel, isn't it? I only use them for the combos, and that's more than enough for me.:) I read in one of your posts that you have an injury. I hope you feel better soon.:)

Hi Pinky....thanks for being so thoughtful...:)...I have had Achilles Tendonitis since the end of Sept. . so going from running 40 miles per week to about 8 is not easy! And since I know from your posts you are a "Zone" fan, I have realized when I don't run I need to be very strict or I gain weight which I have...:(...I got back on the Zone track last week and feel much better. You are very knowledgeable in excercise and nutrition and I do enjoy your posts....thanks again...Carole
