HIIT- High Intensity Interval Training. Its best to hit the gym and pack on some bulk than get to it cause you'll burn the fat off in the HIIT. Work on explosive exercises when at the gym, Deadlifts are one of if not the best rugby league muscle makers. Benchpress, cleans, Stiff legged deadlifts, Squat shrugs, squats and body weight exercises are great for it too Try doing 40m sprints at your maximum effort for say 10 minutes, than as you become fitter extend the distance and you should end up a fantastic player.
