Boxing exercises are great for toning all over if done correct as most the power comes from your legs-do skipping for your calfs and calf raises aswell-remember-some people genetically have small calfs/wrists etc...

Why not add the bag work to your weight training, personally I do 10 5min rounds with a 90sec rest in between. Use the timer on your mobile phone to time the rounds and you can just plug away at it, and the phone takes care of you time.
