Punching bags are traditionally filled with sand, water or grains; however you can use around the house items if you prefer. Some materials that can be a good substitute are rolled up garbage bags (packed tightly), ripped clothes/sheets/rags, cotton, rice, or a combination of these items. What you fill your bag with depends on how heavy and hard you want your punching bag to be.
