Punching Bag Workout!?

Question

Does anyone know of a workout that implements the bag. I want to get a good workout besides just getting up there and punching away. Any advice will help.

Answer 1

Do 3 min rounds 1 min in between.Vary what you work each round.example from a routine I use : R1 - move on the balls of your feet circleing around poping the jab.R2 move alot pop out Jab plant & throw a solid cross move & repeat.R3 same as last 2 but add the hook...Do as many rounds as you can then run or jump rope til you drop.Another is to focus on 1 type of punch each round.Write down some combos and practice them.Hope this helps

Answer 2

approach to bag workouts is to slowly hittem crosswise,up & down,,,,,lt,rt,,,,,,,,20 times(wrappin a 2 lb legweight around wrist helps you build up forearms),,,,,,,three reps of slow hittin,,,then 2 minutes of 1-2 rabbit punches(slow,,,,,,,,,rest 2 minutes after 20 punches),,,,,extend arrn (your body turned right,hitting bag with left arm straight,so hand lands just an inch or so inside the diameter of the bag,this helps you use the extended arm to snap the bag surface,,,,,,music playin helps with rhythm,,,,the bag after 30 -40 minutes helps you break a sweat.3 reps of this in an hours time,,say 4 times a week

Answer 3

Do some combinations on the bag e.g. one-two (jab-straight), double jab-straight, jab-straight-hook, upper-hook-straight, etc. Do your routine at 3-minute intervals simulating actual fight rounds.
