The US doesn't have a monopoly on all popular sports. While soccer may be the most popular sport worldwide, the UK has one major sport the US doesn't really give the time of day. That sport is rugby—and it is intense. Players are pretty much insanely ripped and look like they could pick up a car. Sounds like the golden standard for being in shape, right? 

According to Rugby Ready, the most important aspects to get rugby fit are strength, speed, "functional competence" (a fancy way of saying agile), and endurance. Let's take a look at some programs that work these areas; give this type of training some time and you'll get rugby fit!

About Max Kelley

Let’s start here: I’m a traveler. And a writer.

Producing fun, silly, and engaging words is my bread and butter (mmm, butter) and I'm interested in creating highly informative yet entertaining articles for my wonderful internet audience. 

I'm also a super awkward human in general and I love to share the stories of the potentially embarrassing moments I get myself into. 

In my time as a writer I've covered everything from blogging and news reporting to marketing and SEO. I plan to continue sharing my words with you all as long as I am breathing. And then once I've been converted into a zombie I'll keep on sharing.
