I recently bought some bag gloves and a 70lb heavy bag at a local sporting goods store (they were on sale and I've been looking into boxing). I've been watching youtube videos on the left jab/ right straight punch combo, and practiced for about 45 minutes today. I also wrap my hands for safety (but they are still a little sore ;_;). I also download "championship boxing" by Jack Dempsey, which is a really cool book.

Those of you who box/ kickbox/ etc: what is your heavy bag routine? I'm looking for some kind of workout routine for a beginner. I'm doing punches, but I haven't really got a set workout. Any tips are appreciated!

I know somebody's got a boxing routine. I post on here all the time about caloric intake, diet, and lifting routines. Help a guy out.

Build punching power and cardio:
Hit the bag with straight punches at full power and speed for a full 3 minutes. Do this after a warming up.

The heavy bag is a great tool. It builds cardio, teaches body mechanics in punching/kicking, keeps you moving and helps with accuracy.

As a beginner, I would just focus on combinations and movement. As the bag sways, learn to move. Push it and "waltz" around it (step out and spin). Then start adding combinations before/after/as you move.

And by straight punches, I mean punch straight with both hands for the straight 3 minutes. No hooks, jabs or uppercuts. Just straight punches, digging your feet, and putting your weight into each punch.

Fuck...and buy a HEAVIER bag.
70 lbs. is good, but you need something heavier once you learn how to generate power and such.

Thanks. Will do.
How long is a typical heavy-bag workout then?
