heavy bag routine

[halisray]

Hey all,

I am new to the whole boxing thing - I have been working out for a year and I am in good shape and I felt that I wanted to find something new to do therefore I went out and purchased a heavy bag and some good bag gloves.

Yesterday I basically did 10 rounds of 3minutes each with 1 minute rest in between.. doing jabs, punches, kicks, etc.

I am wondering what a good routine would be.. I am in shape so no need to make it too easy for me haha - if anything I want a good workout.

Also, is it possible to do a boxing routine every day? Or every other day?

Thanks for all the help!!

Better talk to others on routines Im old fashoined and not up with the modern era of high tech training at all.

But one thing for certain is learn to hit each punch with precision first before you take it to the heavy bag or you will get progressive damage and mess yourself up for good.

One miss timed hit and a bent wrist will have you gun shy ,maybe for ever.

good advice andre your hands are your livelyhood and nothing is worth risking them, i can say from experience that my left hand is permanently tender and always niggling at my workouts, however i have had lots of bad practice in my time i remember as a kid the first heavybag i got my parents wouldnt let me hang it so i just propped it in the corner and would slug away at it right there in my room, when i think about it now it makes my wrist whimper heh.
