I just bought a punching bag.?

Question

what's a good routine to do as far excerising with it?

Answer 1

To start with, isolate your punches.  Jab, right hand, left hook, bodyshots (uppercuts).  One round for each major punch; 5 rounds total.  After you can punch properly, then start building your combinations a punch at a time.  Start with the 1-2 combination (left jab, right cross).  Learn the different distances at which each punch is most effective.  Learn how to hit then move to avoid getting countered.  Remember to block an imaginary counterpunch as you punch.  Set up a scenario in your mind, then work on it with the heavybag.

Answer 2

go to a boxing gym and first learn how to punch correctly so you don't develop bad habits from training by yourself.

put on wraps and gloves. Do each of these for 3 min then rest for a min. It's good to practice in rounds just like how you would fight. Also bob and weave as you are doing these, don’t stay stationary. This here is a great order...

1.left jab

2.right jab

3.left cross

4.right cross

5.left jab, right cross

6.right jab, left cross

7.left jab, right cross, left jab

8.right jab, left cross, right jab

9.left hook

10.right hook

11.left jab, right hook

10.right jab, left hook

11.left jab, right cross, left hook

12.right jab, left cross, right hook

13.left upper-cut

14.right upper-cut

15.left jab right upper-cut

16.right jab, left upper-cut

17.left jab, right cross, left upper-cut

18.right jab, left cross, right upper-cut

19.left jab, right cross, left upper-cut, right hook

20.right jab, left cross, right upper-cut, left hook

and there are countless more combinations as large as the imagination is that you can practice

There are lots of exercises you should do to train for boxing.... running, swimming if you have access to pool or lake, jump rope, push-ups, sit-ups, squat thrusts, kettle bell swings, weightless squats, bench press. Go to crossfit.com for more ideas.
