Answer Heavy bag work of about 200 punches per round will help your cardio as well as rope jumping. Situps should be done every day and I would recommend about 4 sets of 50 or work up to that if you cannot already. Pushups probably 4 times per week with about the same type of sets and reps or work up to that point.
