A clean, crisp, sound should result from a near full extension punch. Try to punch through the bag, like it is an opponent. When hitting the bag, it is tempting to hold your breath due to the exertion needed to execute each punch.
Exhaling as a punch is thrown will help ensure a continual supply of oxygen to the body, to feed the working muscles. It will also decrease the likelihood of thoracic pressure, which can result in serious injury. Thoracic pressure is created when nerves and muscles in the thoracic region—between the first rib and collarbone—become compressed, resulting, in some cases, an eye hemorrhage, high blood pressure and severe headaches.
To further underscore the importance of correct breathing for boxing purposes, exhaling with each punch will also add increase power output.

This basically involves repetitively practicing certain punches. For example, a straight right might be executed times, followed by a short rest. Drilling techniques can be made very hard, or kept at a lesser intensity, depending on ones fitness level. They provide and excellent opportunity to go all out, and really push heavy bag work to the limit, without risking technical sacrifice.

The key here is to keep the intensity high, without pre-maturely exhausting oneself. As one becomes more proficient, the intensity can be increased to where an all out effort can be given. This can be attempted by anyone with an established aerobic base. It involves going from a heavy bag technique to a related weight exercise. The possibilities are only limited by imagination, with a near infinite number of combinations.
For example, I would suggest going from one minute of left-right combinations, directly to front raises with dumbbells, or bent side laterals. The key here is to keep the weights sufficiently light.
To perform an overhand right, or left, lift elbow as a regular right cross punch is thrown, and target the fist at a point slightly above the temple region. This movement is often used by shorter fighters, to score a knockout against their taller opponent. For the purposes of developing appreciable muscle density, improving cardiovascular fitness, and enhancing general fitness bearing in mind the average reader of this site seeks muscle quality and improved fitness levels , I would recommend the following program.
Due to the intensity of the following training program, and the additional training required to address muscle size and general health, two days a week is sufficient. This session should take around 50 minutes to complete. With this component, focus on executing all the major punches, as practiced in Part 1. Plus, you can keep the routine going.

Mentally, hitting the heavy bag acts as a symbolic release of stress when you imagine the bag as a representative of your burdens.
The effect of stress on your health is well documented. During times of stress, high amounts of the hormone cortisol are released in the body.
Cortisol increases appetite and drives those dreaded cravings. It affects your sleep, cognition, and energy levels. Further, stress increases visceral fat , which is linked to metabolic disturbances such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
