Week 1 Sessions:
In the first week we will be focusing on your form in all of the different resistance activities to
make sure that you can get the most out of each session and you do not get injured whilst
working your hardest. The warm up for each session throughout the 6 weeks is to run
around the rugby pitch (around 300m) and then press ups, sit ups, squats and calf
extensions for 20 reps each as this will get all of your muscles warm and prepared. The cool
down will also be the same for each session and it is to slow jog around the rugby pitch and
then static stretches such as a quad stretch, calf stretch, tricep stretch and so on.
