Rugby League - Extras

For the next month, the priority is conditioning. So, if you don’t have time to lift, miss that, and do the conditioning.

Where it says Cond.20, you will be doing 20 minutes of conditioning, and where it says Cond.40, you will do 40 minutes.

You pick your workouts from the list below and send your times through to the coaching staff after each workout. You have to rotate your workouts, can’t do the same one every single day. When doing conditioning for 40 minutes, you will pick two workouts from the list and perform them back to back.

For example, if you are 6:45 or above, you will do conditioning Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you have time, you do your weights in ADDITION to the conditioning, NOT INSTEAD of.
