Boxing/reaching past my limits

Question
Hi, I'm 13 and going to become a pro boxer when I'm old enough. I have a 60 lb heavy bag, gloves, a jump rope, and stuff like that and was wondering how and what should do to start my training. I also have a Crossbow weight machine. Do you have any ideas?
Hello Brice,
sounds great, I would plan on a 1 1/2 hour workout session 4 days a week. Start by jumping rope for 20 minutes. Go ahead and wrap your hands with hanpwraps. If you dont have any grab you a pair at the local sporting goods store. shadow box in front of the mirror for 20 minutes working on your punching form and throwing in combinations. Now put your gloves on and using the same combinations from the shadowboxing, go over to the bag. You are going to hit the bag in "rounds". One round is 3 minutes with one minute rest between rounds. Hit the bag for 6 rounds. Pace yourself on the bag, don't throw constantly. Throw a combo, stop, move to another position and throw another combo. Keep your hands up the whole time. When your done take off the gloves and wraps and do 3 sets of crunches, 20 reps per set... 3 sets of pushups, 20 seconds each set... you can finish on your crossbow with sets.....
stay consistant and you'll do great....
good luck

I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
