i'm trying to gauge how hard i'm working compared to other boxers...my weekly workout goes like this:

Tues & Thurs: I got to a local gym for boxing class. It is around 1 hour and 15 minutes. There are 3 heavy bags. Two light, and one heavy for hooks. (not sure about weight). There is a double end bag. Uppercut bag. We go for 3 minute rounds (switching with a partner). Sometimes we spar. We usually run 2.5 miles.

Every day besides Tues & Thurs:
i now have a stand that holds my 100 lb heavy bag and speed bag. I start by jumping rope. (10 minutes) The jump rope has weights inside of it. (Not sure about the weight). Sometimes i'll run a mile or two. I then go to my speed bag for around 10 mins. Then i hit the heavy bag for 25 mins.

i need tips on training, so please post any. Constructive criticism, if any.

I train three times a week. Cardio (running, mostly), shadowboxing and hitting the heavy bag. But then again, I'm an "old man" by most standards, and do it for fitness and fun.

If you train 6 to 7 days a week, be sure to vary your workouts, so your body doesn't fall into a "rut". Mix some elements up, if you can. Use weights once in a while, and hit a local pool and swim some laps, if you can.

I go to Larry Holmes's gym on Tuesdays and Wednsdays. I stretch for about 2 min, then for 3, 3 min rounds I shadowbox and dance around in the ring at the same time. For example I might dance from one corner to the one diaganoly across from it and I dance next to the ropes to get there. Then I shadow box from one corner to another and repeat that routine. After that I put the gloves on (I rap my handds when I first get to the gym) and hit the heavy bag for 4, 3 min rounds. After that I go over to the incline board set it to a 45-60 degree angle and do 4 sets of 15 with a 5 lb weight. Then I do the mits for 4-5, 3 min rounds. After that I hit the speed bag for 3, 3min rounds. Then I go jump rope for 3-4 rounds. Then I ride the stationary bike for 10 min. After that I tie the rope up to 2 polls and bob and weave from one end to the other. After that I go home.

i train 5-6 times a week...i like to run between 3-5 days a week of about 1-2 miles, then the 5-6 days a week of training consists of: 3rounds(every round is 3 minutes with 1 minute break between) of jump roping, 3 rounds of shadow boxing, 10-20 pushups inbetween every round of everything except sparring, and 2 sets of sit-ups in the beginning and 2 sets of situps in the end, each set is about 100 total situps, of all kinds, (leg raises, legs flat, legs bent, oblique crunches) and then i like to spar atleast 3 rounds (also every day) then about 3-10 rounds on the heavy bag, and about 1-2 rounds of speed bag depending...
