High Intensity TRAINING.
It’s called high intensity for a reason – this is not easy. But as they say no pain, no gain!
We know the season has only just finished but after training and playing every week it’s not uncommon to begin to feel unfit very quickly. High intensity training is a great way of spiking the body and getting yourself feeling fit again.
It’s called high intensity for a reason – this is not easy. But as they say no pain, no gain!
