 What is up? Today we're going to head down to the field and hit some cardio. I've been telling myself I need to do this for months, probably years now to be honest. The type of cardio I've chosen to do is rugby. So I am a huge fan of rugby. If you don't know, you may have come to this channel because I taught you how to play rugby in one form or another. Now I haven't actually touched a rugby ball for a good 18 months guys, unless I was down at the field trying to teach you guys something. So, you know, I'm not getting any younger. I'm 26 and I know that if I don't get back to playing rugby soon, I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life. So today is the first day of, you know, it's not only just off-season cardio. It's to get my hands back on the ball. It's to see if I enjoy running around, which I know I'm going to. So with that said, I'm going to have a shower, get my fucking shit together, get my boots out of the cupboard. I don't even know where they are. And we're going to head down to the rugby field and have a little bit of a run around. This is making gains. It's all about muscle gains, but you know, I'm becoming increasingly aware of the fact that if I'm going to be playing something like rugby, I'm going to need to work on speed, agility, and you know, I just got to get my hands back on the ball. If you guys play rugby, if you play sport, you know that if you take 12, 18 months off, it's not going to take long to get it back, but there's something about that feel of the ball, you know, which I can't, I can't really imagine it right now. I can't, I can't remember what it was like. So I'm going to get my shit ready, have a shower, get changed, get my ball, get my boots, get my bag, get my drink, and head down to the field and we'll see what happens. Peace. All right. We're getting there. I will make it to the field. I promise. Now, even I need to promise myself that because I've got to this point a few times over the last couple of months, ready to go down to the field. And then I just think now I can't be bothered. So this morning, I'm not going to allow that to happen. And I'm going to get my boots. And how's the hair looking good? All right. Boom. Okay. Boots. Here's me a rugby ball. All right, guys. So that's that. We're all ready to go. The next shot you see will be down at the field. So here we are. Down at the field. We did make it. Boots on. Tell you what, this is a good feeling. Putting your boots on before you play or before you go to training is, it's a pretty sweet feeling, especially when you're back. I don't know how it feels being a forward because most of your training's probably going to be head ups and tackles. Whereas if you're back, most of your training's like running, doing moves. Oh my God. So tight. So yeah, all I'm going to do is grab the ball and just do little kicks to myself. Just run onto the ball, practice a few steps, pass the ball to myself. And just run around with the ball, really. And not only is that cardio running, but I enjoy it. And it's going to just get my feeling back for the game. Get the ball in my hands, start running around with it, kick the ball, see how we go. So that's just what I'm going to do first. See what happens after that. I'm going to put some music in. Running around with the ball and with some epic music is pretty fun in my book. So yeah. You guys might have seen, I was practicing the same move over and over. That's another thing I like to do. And by myself there's no point just practicing skills. You've got to practice it in the game. So the thing I was doing then was acting like I'd been past it, out from the scrum or whatever. Because being in the back line, that's where I am. I'm out on the side waiting for the ball to be passed so we can run and use our speed and our skills. So I was imagining I got past it. And then first thing I did when I get the ball is pop a little goose step. And that puts the defender off balance from the start. From there, I try and exhilarate around. Give a left hand fend if the defender was still on me. Hopefully the fend can get him off. And then I'm practicing running around the outside, drawing in that defender and passing. Or if that defender is drifting with my outside guy, I'm just going to dummy and go through. So that was the move I was practicing there. I'm going to continue that move but what I'm going to do is instead of passing or dummy, I'm going to know that I'm going to hold the ball and I'm going to do a side step on the inside. Hopefully breaking the line and going through. So I'm going to practice that a few times now.
