There are a million ways to get fit for cricket and improve your game so the perfect workout for you will be totally different from the next person. What do you need to consider when deciding how to get fit for cricket?

• What your individual goals are.
• How fit, strong and mobile you are.
• What time of year it is.
• How much training and playing experience you have.
• Your age, weight and size.
• Your injury and health history.
• What you enjoy doing.
• Your motivation levels.

Where do you start with such complicated variables? A lot of the information you either know yourself or can get from going through the harrowdrive cricket fitness archives. I would also recommend getting the advice of a cricket fitness expert. You might struggle to find one in a commercial gym, but you can always contact me directly.

Finally, don't let a worry about getting the perfect workout stop you from training altogether. It's far better to be training regularly in an imperfect way that you enjoy and can stay motivated with than doing nothing at all.
