[QUOTE="Gotann, post: 96425"] Oh god yeah keep your cardio up. One major thing is to try and be at peak physical condition. Think about it, Ultimate Fighters just train to break someones neck in the first round, but I'd doubt if they could last 12 rounds against a decent pro boxer doing [i]just[/i] boxing. Why? Because the boxer trains every day, not just building stregnth, but in his general endurance and fitness so, even after 12 rounds in high humidty or heat, he can still raise those arms for one last hurrah. Basically, sort out your training so you're building yourself for 90 minutes of running, tackling and thinking. Cos where we come from, [i]we don't do timeouts[/i] :D Welcome by the way :) [/b][/quote] Thanks for the welcome, glad to be part of this forum. And yea you`re right cardio is important. That`s this is mostly the main thing I do when I work out, because my stamina is not very good. I saw that rugby is a very fast sport that involves a lot of running, so I guess that`s why people are saying that cardio is very very important, or else you`ll tire out very easily. But I`m afraid that I do to much cardio, and not enough strength exercise, but I do not want my stamina to be so weak that`s why I`m doing more cardio than other things. Yea I think I`m worrying too much about this. It`s just that it is a team sport and I hate being in the way or a nuissance. Plus I want my body to be at his best since I think that Rugby looks like an intense sport. [/QUOTE]
