How long until I see a benefit

When it comes to muscualr endurance in particular, how long until I see results. For example, I need to work on my punching endurance, one of the exercises that was suggested to me was throwing 1000 jabs, since I don't have a bag at home I throw them at the air. I started yesterday, if I do them consistantly, how long before it gets easier?
Also, how often should I workout like this. If I'm working on endurance should I do it everyday, every other day?

Have an obese, black, CMA-stylist overlord make you punch the heavy bag 1,000 times with no gloves.

1000?

That's a lot of jabs.

1000 each side?

I really can't tell you one way or another because I have never tried to do what you are trying to do. But I have noticed improvements in myself in 2-3 weeks.

Should I be doing them everyday? My coach is old school, and he says I should be doing these exercises every day, ie situps, various drills, which doesn't jive with what is generally preached here.

well, IF you can do them everyday, then they are NOT that intense are they ?

Set a goal for yourself, and perform a high intensity exercise to reach that goal. Punching a bag 1000 times is only going to make you able to punch a bag 1000 times and serves no purpose. As for the time, I'd say 4-6 weeks with a comprehensive program.

Your coach is an old school idiot. No, you don't perform any exercises everyday.

Ok, when I throw alot of jabs, my bicep(left) feels sore. When I throw jabs in the air I feel it specifcally in my bicep. What else could I do that would help me throw more jabs without tiring my arm out.
