Mid table mate, not too bad...got knocked out in the first round of the FA Vase by Carterton though...1-0 in a replay

With working out, it all depends what you want to achieve, do you want to be bigger built (usually meaning your a bit slower etc, but stronger of course) or do you want to be quicker and nimbler?

If you want to be stronger (like a lot stronger) then its just gym work on the upper body and stomach areas. Usually do some weight training 2-3 days a week.

If you want to be slimmer, nimbler etc...then do a lot of cardio work, running, cycling etc...

Depends what you want really bud.

Cool not bad then mate - i might pop along to watch a home game soon.

- at the moment i train 3 days a week in the gym weight training heavy weights etc and now i want to loose weight and get quicker and fitter cardio wise..

[bide_furio]

get a excercise ball and do some core stability work too! helps a shit load!

gettin fitter just run and run and run lol! theres loads of advice to give, just gotta ask the correct questions!

[BazzaC]

well, weights can also make you lose weight if you eat right etc...

Thing is, if you over do cardio, you end up losing muscle too, which is what has happened to me.

Lost 3 stone to get fit for football again and lost half of that in bloody muscle. Dont get my wrong, im faster than what I was but im a lot weaker in the challenge than what I was also.

Personally, if I was you, I would stick to the 3 days doing weight work and maybe throw in a day where you go for a jog...maybe use the treadmills at the gym whilst your there?

Sounds like im doing everything right. just wanted opnions and advice from any proper footballers ..

[BazzaC]

Wouldnt exactly call myself a proper footballer!

Its a fairly decent standard of football, nothing to special.

Who do you play for?
