I go into the gym and do 75 pullups, 75 dips, 150 squats, 150 pushups, and then 20 minutes of ab work. Done. It takes an hour; I'm in and out. I sweat the whole time.
I was banging seven-gram rocks...because that's how I roll. I have one speed. I have one gear. Go.
High-intensity training works well for cricket because we spend long periods waiting around and then have to perform sudden sprints or dives.
The best way I knew how was to give 110% and want it more than them, and walk on the court and every moment of the match feel like it was the end of the world, in a sense. So that worked for me in a lot of ways. There were times that it hurt me, but for the most part, it helped me.
The idea of lying on a beach as my main thing just sounds like the worst. It sounds horrible to me. I would go bonkers. I would have to be on serious drugs. I'd be super-duper bored. I like high intensity.
I like weightlifting and cardio workouts, and I'll do a lot of circuit workouts and plyometric as well.
When you go to Australia you are always asked whether you can perform in hostile environments against high pace and every Australian side I have played against has had guys bowling over 90mph.

It is difficult to take in how long you have been doing one thing when you compete at the highest level and always with the highest intensity.
Even though the city of Memphis and this organization has welcomed me with open arms, I play every game like it's my last. Play as hard as I possibly can. Been no different my whole career.
Our schedule is intense. We do this for five nights a week, so injuries can happen very easily with the demands of the job. It's just the nature of what we do and sports in general.
On the road to WrestleMania, this is where everyone's giving 110 percent.
I've always been known for speeding up the tempo. To me, that's just the way you play the game - aggressive. There's no time to rest. You rest on the sidelines.
When I'm not on the ice, I do interval work on the bike or the elliptical, trying to mimic a four-minute routine. But it doesn't come close.
If you want to play dominant football, you need to get the ball, think fast, and play quick combinations in small spaces.
I have lived my whole life with high intensity.
The football in Spain is more about skill and technique. Every team tries to play good football. The physical side, with plenty of running and hard tackling, plays more of a role in the Bundesliga.
I am used to training 10 to 12 sessions a week, so I have the physical and mental endurance that comes with being an athlete.
The best example is the NBA, with high intensity and long breaks. During the season, the NBA teams play every three days. That's a lot, and they also travel far. But from the end of May until October, they have their break.
If I'm only going to play one more match, I want to take a wicket with every ball, not try and defend a boundary.
I am pretty confident I can adapt to the style of the Premier League.
I would have to work on the song and figure out how they wanted the song done, because they're such high-intensity songs. We figure that out first, then I go back and listen to it and go over and rehearse stuff with it and try to get a feel for the words.
We all have to go into the game and play hard, no days off, no possessions off and when we get a little lead don't get comfortable.
I spend most of my life feeling like I've been shot out of a cannon.
In my training in the summer, back in the day, I used just go, go, go! I wouldn't take any days off, I would do whatever I wanted, as much as I wanted of it.
