    Why do you need to make it heavier? You can still get a good workout even if it moves a lot. But if you jab it and it goes flying, then you need a heavier one

      Tape a weight on the very top of the bag. It wont be in your way, it works well.

              Aside from filling it with something heavier, if that's possible, than you're beat, other than things like putting weight on top, etc. You'd have to get another bag if that's a big deal to you. How much does yours weigh anyways?
