If you want to get fit, lose weight and have a chance to be picked for the team, you need to put in the hard yards down at the gym and at training.

Get the hard yards mug.Phrase equivalent to "Everything that is available." Has nothing to do with football. In fact, the phrase comes from the fact that fighter planes are equipped with belt-fed machine guns. When the belts are laid out before loading, they measure nine yards in length. If a pilot were to empty his plane's guns into a target, he'd be giving it the "whole nine yards."
