What signature boxing gear and tools does Carolyn Scott recommend for beginners?

For true “signature” tools with my name on them, I do not currently have branded boxing gear. But I absolutely love recommending a few beginner-friendly essentials that fit The Healthy Voyager style: practical, accessible, and good for home use.

For starting out, I suggest:

1. Light neoprene dumbbells (like the 1–3 lb hex weights I feature) for conditioning
2. Resistance bands or TRX-style suspension straps
3. A basic jump rope
4. Hand wraps and beginner boxing gloves
5. A freestanding or hanging heavy bag if you have the space

Are you planning to train at home, at a gym, or a mix of both?
