soccer is coming up soon.... i need to get in shape... really bad. whenever i run now i feel i get out of breath a lot easier. and i think my leg muscles decreased, i lost a lot of weight. what can i do do get in shape, and increase my muscles (mainly leg muscles.. although arm muscles would help for my throw-ins)?
thanks..
first off, make sure that you're NOT just working on your legs for soccer, because if you want to be an impact player, you need to be strong on the ball and be able to play a physical game as well as a game of skill. its not that skinny players don't make an impact in the game, but its been seen so many times where the little guys who have a lot of foot skills and speed are marked out of the game by physical players.
for running, in order to get back in shape (and you should be setting a goal to be in better shape than you were last year) you should run 2 days, rest one day, run 2, rest one, run 2, rest one and so on. run through the soreness and tiredness, because you're gonna have to do it in practices and games. if your legs are sore, then lay on your back with your legs propped up in a 90 degree angle against a wall for about 25-30 minutes before you go to sleep. when you wake up, you won't be as sore in your legs.
if you really want to get in good shape, go to a place with multiple flights of stairs, and just do sprints on the stairs from bottom to top for half an hour each day. incredibly tiring, but the results are amazing.
good luck in your season this year.
