ABSTRACT:
The invention described in the specification relates to the art of fitness training and in particular to a training bag apparatus which comprises a training bag support base having a planar, substantially circular bottom portion, a dome-shaped upper portion attached to the bottom portion defining a substantially closed cavity therebetween. The upper portion having a dome-shaped outer surface contains a centrally positioned support collar attached thereto and at least two support ribs radiating from the support collar along at least a portion of the outer surface of the upper portion. The support collar and ribs are integrally molded with the upper portion. The base further includes a centrally positioned upstanding projection attached to the bottom portion and a substantially rigid elongate tube removably fitted over the upstanding projection and extending at least from the bottom projection to the support collar. At least the upper portion, bottom portion, support collar and ribs of the apparatus are provided by a one piece molded structure. A flexible column is fitted over at least a portion of the rigid tube and extends vertically upward from the support collar of the base. A striking pad is attached to the column to provide a resilient surface for training activities. The flexible column provides sufficient rebound and/or reflex action without the need for additional springs or complicated mechanical devices.
