Hi Andrea, you are absolutely right I agree with you full heartedly. This workout is very specific to lower body to help with maneuverability and agility and should be done as part of a total body workout. You can check out two of my most popular workout articles here – workouts for men & workouts for women.

Sir,

I noticed that your soccer workout is entirely cardio and legs. Playing soccer uses more of your body than just that. What about arms, shoulder, back, chest (all body parts used for throw-ins, heading, and all the contact this none contact sport truly gets) Do you have any other additional work-outs you would recommend for an avid soccer family (mom, dad and 3 boys).

Thanks

You can try it as interval training with sprints for 30 seconds using cones and then jogging around the field for 2 mins. Hope that helps!

Hey Sam, Staying with soccer workouts, I am a very competitive player in my mid-teens. My weaknesses though are quickness and agility. Could you recommend any drills using cones? Thanks!!

Mario: that’s exactly right…as you get more advanced you can try decreasing the 2mins to 1 min or even 30 seconds.

Dave: Very much so…running up and down stairs is an excellent alternative especially if you can find some bleachers outside in a field.

Would just going up and down stairs do the same as a stairclimber or stair master??
Thanks in advance!!

So we do 2 min at 6 mph, 30 sec at 8.5, 2 min at 6 mph, 30 sec at 8.5 and so on for 35 min right??

Thanks Sam ur great!!!

Hi Nico, yes do these one after another on the same day. You can do this 3 days/week maximum separated by a day of rest between the training days.

Hey Sam, do I do these both in one day right after another or on seperate days???
And, how many days a week should I do this???
