So, following on from our principles of conditioning, its time to throw you a few basic exercises. The principles of this are going to be:
- Full-chain connectivity
- Proprioception
- Power (strength and speed)
- Relevance
- Balance
- Fitness
- Agility
So, without further ado, I’d like to suggest a little starter for the season, just 3 days a week, that will give you a decent foundation to build on, just 3 times a week at the gym. Try this for a few weeks and let us know how you get on! Enjoy!
[blue]Monday – CV – Interval Rowing[/blue]
- 6x500m at 1.45/500m. 1.30 min rest between sets. If you haven’t done much rowing before, its unlikely you’ll be able to maintain that pace for all 6 sets, but keep it as something to aim for.

- 40 mins, 15 seconds on, 15 seconds off.
- 10 mins each of: 2-handed swing; Snatch, Left Hand; Snatch, Right Hand; 2-handed swing. See videos at the Bottom
