Thinking of doing some circuit-style training to get in shape for football

[Nerrg]

Football camp's coming up and I'm trying to get in shape for it. I've done some regular conditioning, but I was thinking today about a workout I could do to get to help shape, and since I've never done anything like this before I'd like to get the opinions of some of you guys who know this better then I do. It'd go like this

-Quick warmup

-Alternating pushups and russian twists both until failure

-Alternating sets of 10 jumps for height and 10 for distance with 30 seconds rests in
between (Maybe replace this with burpees or up downs?)


-Rowing on rowing machine (cardio one, with very little resistance), high intensity

-Sandbag carries alternating grip between sumo, and in a front squat style grip (where the bar is)

-5 minutes of rest after this then repeat until exhaustion.

If anyone can review this and tell me if it'd be any good for getting in shape for football, if it is any corrections, and how long each one should be done for, I would appreciate it and rep any good replies

Bump, I did this on friday and it was alright, but I'd like to get someone else's opinion on whether this is worth following

Remember that football is an anaerobic sport. cut out the rowing machine...replace it with sprints. the rest looks ok, but remember to train in interbvals of very high intensity for short periods of time.
