[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 809849, member: 72520"] HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is a great place to start. It involves working at a very high intensity for an amount of time, then resting for a short amount of time, then repeating. For example, one that my forwards coach showed to us was where you start of doing 5 press ups then sprinting 25 metres, doing 5 press ups and sprinting back. That counts as 1 rep. 3 reps is a set. Aim to do it 5 times. 1 minute rest in between sets. It's designed to replicate getting to the breakdown, working when you get there, and then hitting the next one. You can substitute the 5 press-ups with any exercise (Sit ups, squats, burpees - although they'll kill you, or if you have access to one - tire flips). To help more with what will be appropriate for your position, what position do you play? And good luck, I hope this helped. [/QUOTE]
