Does anyone know a good workout routine to get ready for rugby?

Question

weight lifting and cardio included

Answer 1

Run repeatedly into brick walls.

Answer 2

Yeah mate, dont listen to these geezers. First, start out with bench pressing or military press. Next, move onto squatting. Squatting is a full body excersize and is a great routine for rugby. REALL PAY ATTENTION TO THE SQUATTING. After, you should work your hamstrings and other leg muscles so do leg extensions and calf presses. Also you want to lift free-weights or dumbbells and do curls for your biceps and tricep extensions. After you work out, eat a shite-load of meat and maybe take a protein shake. Good luck.

Answer 3

you should probably get hit by a truck or at least a bunch of bicycles. then if you feel like lifting weights, do that.

Answer 4

Weights probably, its what most fowards do!

Answer 5

definitely tons of cardio!! nothing is harder than getting up and down that field after being tackled, making a tackle, or getting out of the scrum. if you dont have the stamina, it wont matter how strong you are because you wont be anywhere near the ball if you cant run for 80 minutes!

and then of course after cardio, you do want what was mentioned before--squats, leg press, biceps, triceps, etc.. higher weight with fewer reps will build muscle. less weight and more reps will tone and condition existing muscle. again you do want to be ble to exert yourself for 80 mins on the field so i think stamina in strength and running is better than haing explosive strength that burns out quickly. its always best to see a trainer so they can identify your goals and match you with a good program of weighlifting that will be ideal for your weight.

finally, run run run~!!

Answer 6

running is most important. if you can still run the other player won't get you. lifting always helps especially lower body. run run run

Answer 7

from head to toe..

my tips..u have to start with warm up..then  jogging for a few minutes or a few laps ...then do some 100meter sprint for 4-6 times..make sure your body feel tired after doing this..if not repeat the sprint for a couple time more..

then we going to do the heavy part..

there are usually three types of exercise people do for heavy exercise..

1-push ups(50minimum 100 average 150 max)

2-explosive squats(10-20 times)

3-heavy run(carry something very heavy while jogging..big logs recommended)

after u have done all three of these..it means you have accepted the curse..the curse is to maintain it by doing everyday...

and here's a tips..focus,charisma and spirit is important in the field..do not lose any one of those three..

and lastly...if you doing this alone..try put on some music that can raise your spirit while doing those workout..believe me..u don't even notice you are tired..

good luck..remember!

stay fit to stay win..
