Punchbag Cardio

Hi there,

I got a punchbag for my home gym recently. I dont do much cardio and I’ve never done any boxing, but I was wondering two things…Whats punchbag training like for fat loss? Can it be a sort of HIIT training exercise? Secondly, if anyone uses bag work as a cardio supplementation to a predominently resistance based program, and finds it to be effective, can you give any tips on movements, set times, rest intervals etc

About a month ago this guy wrote out his program for boxing as cardio. It was a great program. Search “Boxing Workout” and you will find it.

check out rossboxing.com, lots of great stuff on there about boxing workouts and bag work.

Some good threads on boxing and resistance training that I had saved.
