If you go this route make sure you have someone teach you how to properly wrap your hands and wrists so you do not injure them, also I would strongly recommend learning how to properly hit a bag so you do not injure yourself as well.
As an amateur boxer I use many different forms of cardio. In the morning (6-7am) I go for a nice long run 4-5 miles. I then will normally jump rope 3 5 minute rounds, then shadow box for 3 5 minute rounds then hit the heavy bag for 3 5 minute rounds. I lift weights maybe 2 times a week and do push-ups and sit-ups pretty much every night.
