Preseason Fitness Plan Day 1

2011-08-10T21:35:00.001-04:00

This entire routine from day one is a compilation of rugby fitness programmes from around the world. Every exercise relates to the game of rugby..There will be ALOT of input, don't do this, you should do that etc... it's too late for that, do the routine and then add whatever you like to it afterwards. The time for discussion is long past. Make sure you eat better and STAY HYDRATED. Talk to your doc if you have questions about your ability to do this stuff.

Set aside an hour each day this next week. Get an ipod (walkman for you moose) and some tunes to keep you in the game. This is the hardest week of training and it will soon be over. No one, regarless of your fitness is exempt from this. This is RUGBY specific, 15 as 1 "Together"

Next week the intensity picks up and we begin 80minute workouts.

8/11 Thursday

Today is the first day of the season.. Give 100% all out today.. rest in between each set and exercise

5 Minute Jog
10 Minutes Stretching.. try to go through our warm up routine.. dynamic stretching
10 x 15m Sprints with SLOW Walk Back Recovery

Power Circuit 3 sets of each in a circuit. Rest in between each exercise for 15 sec and 30sec between sets

20 Clap Pushups (push up hard enough to clap your hands together, do this until you cannot do any more)
25 crunches
15 Squat Jumps (Jump as high as you can this is all about power)

Slow jog to cool down. Relax.. stretch a bit you've only been exercising for 1/2 hour and you are already in pain. A match is 80 minutes long..we will get there.
