Soccer is a sport that requires endurance, agility, quickness, and a lot of leg strength to be successful. This soccer fitness plan is designed to target all of these areas by utilizing free weights, plyometrics, and cardio.
Free weights are the best choice for building pure strength and this plan incorporates a lot of free weights, but a soccer player also needs explosive strength and that is where plyometrics come into play. This soccer workout schedule uses several leg plyometric exercises that will give a player the quickness, jumping ability, and solid foundation to dominate . To hold off players and push them around one needs a strong upper body and this plan take this into account by devoting a significant amount of time towards building a strong upper body.
This soccer workout program has three workouts that are made up of lower body, upper body, and a cardio day. Each workout is to be completed twice a week and it is ideal not to perform cardio on the same day as another workout, especially legs. Simply perform the workouts in the order they placed and then go back through them again for the ideal workout schedule.
Each exercise is 3 sets that range from 6-12 reps with the compound, heavy weighted exercises at the 6 rep range to focus more on strength. Focus on picking a weight to where you can only do six reps and not a SINGLE one more. Once you can do six then it is time to move up in weight. As with any soccer workout plan it is imperative to eat lots of quality calories that will rebuild your torn muscles, not doing so will result in less than ideal results.
