The three main things that you have to ask yourself before you start buying things off the internet for your apartment are:

What type of training am I planning on doing?

Will the bag be quiet enough for my apartment?

Can I install the equipment that I need in my apartment and will it even fit?

The one piece of equipment that’s very easy to install, doesn’t cost a whole lot, and can help you with cardio and strengthening work outs is a punching bag. Punching bags come in different weights and usually have an exterior covering of leather, faux leather or vinyl. What you might not know about punching bags is that they have what they call an “internal bladder,” which allows them to be filled with air or water. This is what makes them resilient against repeated striking.

Their construction is pretty straightforward. We’ll get into what punching bag weights you should consider later on in this list. For now, one of the things that you have to keep in mind when getting a punching bag for your apartment is that you’re going to need some sort of mount for it. That is if you are looking for a heavy bag and not a free standing punching bag.
