As your knee heals, you can add jump-roping to the cardio part. it's very good training.
I you have a YMCA, they usually have boxing classes or clubs. That would be a very good place to start, or at least talk with the trainers there for suggestions.

Thanks for the ideas, Ann1231. Wow. 30 minutes. I was lucky to do 1 minute intervals with the last 10 seconds of each minute being a full out box. I'll get there though. I really did enjoy it.
I bought some liner gloves yesterday and I'm going to ask if there is a trainer with boxing expertise/experience when I go in tomorrow.
