Hand Wraps?
You ladies had such great suggestions with sports bras awhile back, that I though I would come back for more!
I'm taking a kickboxing class that I signed up for on livingsocial. It came with gloves so that's great, but DH freaked out when he heard I was doing bag work without gloves. He insisted that I am going to break my wrist if I don't start wearing wraps.
Does anyone have hand wraps that they love and can suggest to me? I plan on going to Sports Authority or D i c K's tonight to get some. TIA for any and all suggestions!
Re: Hand Wraps?
I use Ringside gloves and wraps. I've been really happy with the wraps I ordered because they are long enough to provide the right amount of support. Ringside is great to work with too. Highly recommend!

Sorry it isn't clicky, I'm on an iPad.
Thanks for the wraps suggestion! I'll check them out!
I have a couple of pairs of wraps, Everlast and TKO I think. Everlast is a brand thats sold at most major sports stores. I don't really think there is much difference between them. I think its more important to get wrapped properly. Have the instructor help you wrap for the first time or two, or watch a youtube video on it.
For what its worth, I have boxed with only gloves and no wraps before, when I first started in college. I certainly didn't break my wrists and didn't notice a huge difference or anything, but I feel a lot safer with the wraps on.
