Boxing has become one of the go-to exercises or sports when a person wants to lose weight fast. It’s a challenging social sport because it requires people to use and train all of their body parts. People who are big fans of boxing practically beef up just to maintain a certain strength and stamina required to actively engage into the game. Some even swear to boxing being the ultimate fitness regime as it tones all your muscles and make for up a lean, ripped abs.

I was never interested in boxing. But, because my father thinks he’s somewhat a disciple of Rocky Balboa when he’s done daydreaming about being an alter ego of that famous character, I kind of tolerated the sport. I only look closely at boxing when I saw this movie, The Fighter, because Christian Bale’s character of Dicky Eklund grew amorously on me (oh Lord, he’s so good in that movie).

How Boxthebag Works?

Boxthebag uses a patent pending algorithm which detects the speed and force of the hand movement in real time and based on it the bag moves back and forth and gives the feeling of actual punching as it happens in the real world.

This is the precise statement from Tech BLA’s press release. Boxthebag uses a tracking process that identifies the strength and speed of the user’s punches which make it seem like they are really training in real boxing classes. Users need to attentively follow the directions that are displayed on their screens because each of their movements is followed by the app’s smart motion. The device that users will use needs to be placed in a stable surface like a table, or let someone hold the tablet for you so your punches can accurately register in the game.

1. The setting of Boxthebag takes place in an enclosed space that looks like a basement with a punching bag.
2. There is a mini TV in the left side of the screen where users can see themselves for proper aiming and punches. This TV will let users calculate their movements swiftly and ensure that they are aiming for the correct target.
3. The app advises users to stand two feet away from their devices so the app can thoroughly track their movements. Also, the upper and middle part of the user’s body needs to be seen so the app can distinguish the punches. Check your stance in the mini TV as you start boxing.
