I have not been 100% in the gym lately having just moved recently and have never been good w cardio since I had surg a few years ago, but just decided to join a beginner rugby club team at school and needed to know some good routines/workouts to shape up and so that I am at least somewhat ready to walk into it. Never played on a team or any sports so Im not sure of what will benefit my goals more than others. I will probably be placed as a back if that makes any difference in your recommendations but I am not for sure. I was told by the coach to show up at practice and I would learn the game fast but i want to be up to par w the heartrate and stamina

Plyometrics, good for power, speed, and agility. Foot quickness is important too so you should look up some drills. I used to run rope ladders. What kind of surgery? I tore my meniscus in my right knee doing deep squats, it didn't take long for me to bounce back. I was pretty much forced to. -

Re: Rugby guys or athletes, need some help
Has a doctor told you that your heart is stable enough to play a sport like rugby? I mean it's not really my business, but I figured I would ask. If your heart rhythms are still to fast and not pumping efficiently you will want to go with some low impact cardio at first, rather then plyometrics. IMOComment
