So soompiers...
I'm wanting to try out for soccer and training starts towards late november.
I know I won't lose like 47381 pounds before then, so I just want to start working out.
You're talking to a girl whose only exercise is walking around her school (layout is like a college campus) and that's it.
I'm starting to play a little "soccer" with my little brother outside (consists of kicking and running after the ball)
for maybe an hour or so everyday, except wednesday.
I'll also be controlling portions (SO HARD... ).
I think it'll be nice to finally get into shape.
I'm around 5'7" and weigh almost 160 -_____-......
That's a whopping 25 on the bmi calculator.
I want not only to lose weight, but to get into shape so I can run around like a
jaguarundi (HAHA do they run?).
Anyone else trying for a sport in the spring?
Let's TALK!!!!
Keep each other inspired and going!!!
Thanks.

i was planning to do soccer for school after football season, but i decided not to...instead i picked up tennis full-time.

so when i used to play soccer a lot i had a problem, which was no1 to workout with or keep me inspired to play xD!
if you're trying to build stamina ask some people from cross country or track and they'll tell you good ways to keep in fit, energized, and ways to prevent cramps x]

I don't know how good your school soccer team is, but ours is pretty competitive, so most people are already conditioned and play on a team year round. I don't play on the soccer team, but during tryouts they first couple days is basically testing how conditioned and how much endurance you have. My friend says they run at least 2 miles for warm up, work on strengthing (bleachers, abdominals, arms, etc. etc.) then split up into groups and play matches and another 2 mile cool down. I'm not sure how your school tryouts are set up, but I would highly HIGHLY suggest you take up long distance running (try 2-3 miles a day for starters) or you could try this work out we do for track:
1) 1 mile warm up on track (4 laps for us)
2) sprint 1/4 lap then do 30 sit ups, then another 1/4 lap 30 push ups, then sprint 1/4 lap 30 leg lifts, then sprint 1/4 lap (back to your starting point) 30 walking lunges on each leg
3) run 1 lap under 2.5 minutes
4) sprint 1/4 lap walk on your toes 100 meters and then walk back, sprint 1/4 lap 30 diamond push ups, sprint 1/4 lap bleachers for 4 minutes, sprint 1/4 lap (back to starting point) superman for 4 minutes
5) run 1 lap under 2.5 minutes
6) sprint 1/4 lap walk 100 meters on your heels, sprint 1/4 lap plank for 3 minutes, sprint 1/4 lap 30 tricep dips, sprint 1/4 lap (back to starting point) 20 kangaroo jumps
7) run 1 lap under 2.5 minutes
8) run 2 laps for cool down
*remember to STRETCH before and after!
I think this workout would really help you make you fitter, stronger, and build stamina. Do it everyday if you can (or every other day). After the first day you might feel a little sore, but just stretch it out and after three days you're body should adjust.

Hope this helps! Goodluck at tryouts!
