^Thats cool that you can do that. I was thinking I could get cardio by running there and then lift for strength. Chances are slim though of even getting a membership, though. Also, I destroyed my knee while playing outside during vacation and I am finally beginning to get all of the flexibility back. It felt like it needed cracked really badly, but if I cracked it, I was afraid of the tissue breaking and my bone going the wrong direction. I'm falling apart....

im starting to spin (cycling) a guy from my church went to some of my soccer games and told me it would give me a good advantage on the pitch. this guy tried to run a 100 miles in like a day and a half and ran 63 miles, i think it could help lol

alright I still haven't gotten over the loss of those manias this morning so.............Ebay id fixitdigital better not be on here or I won't be held responsible for my actions. Anyways anybody know of any lunar manias in a uk 8, us 8.5

^I'm him. Haha, just kidding, dont hurt me.

Well I'm feeling better. I found a site that sell them. They are twice as much but o well.

so you think you are going to go for them?

Spinning classes are unbelievable for building up your speed, and power in your legs. Althought they need alot of commitment, and i have to say there are the hardest training i have EVER done, they are torture, but the benefits are huge.

probably just gonna check and make sure shipping isn't rediculous. Anybody bought from Holloway Sports? Are they quality?

Cycling as in stationary bikes?

Cycling is horrible for you. Just like jogging.

Hey judging by the changes to your profile, you aren't happy with Barca

What happened? I can't follow International club soccer, no channels? Did Henry get traded there?

don't torture the poor Gooner

Haha, I was being serious!

Wow, you must have heard?

He went to Barca for about €24M which is about $30M or £16

Oh, cool thanks. 30 million is not a bad price. I guess he kinda matters to me because he is with Reebok, which Adidas owns, literally!

BTW, Footfield if you want to keep up with the Engligh Soccer or the transfer market, check outSKY SPORTS

There is a specia section on transfers and will give you everything you need to know about internationla soccer.

Alright, thanks. It's just not the same without watching it, though...

Yea, it's tough over here. I check ESPN soccernet which is ok, BBC and Sky Sports which are better.

yeah, eurosport.com isnt a bad site either

I guess that's why soccer.com isn't called that^, eh?

righty-o

soccer.com is alot better than eurosport.com though

Better name, too. Seems like it should have everything soccer related.

Being soccer.com also gets them a lot of hits from people just searching soccer in general. I think they used to have a soccer news section a couple years ago.

Does anyone know what to do to stop my joints from aching?

As in your knees?

The worst is my knees and hips. But now I am beginning to feel it in my ankles and even in my shoulders and wrists. I feel like an old man. Is there some sort of good therapy for this or something to help me. It hurts and it feels like I am getting slower because of it.

Yea, I feel it. Best thing to do is stretch a lot before and after you play. Everyone has just told me they're natural growing pains. Go have a look in the players and coaches forum. I think they have some advice in there.

^I'm beginning to give up in that forum. I've heard so many ways on how to get faster, stronger, and healthier that I am confused, haha. Theres people that say they run 10 second 100 meters and are 15 years old, and at the same time, they are giving me advice.

Anyway, yeah, I've went to the a few doctors and they tell me I'm growing. Well, bloody hell, I've been hurting forever, give me treatment, haha. I guess I'm just frustrated about lots of things right now.

Hey, IM me back on yahoo, Predator.

Just did

Deep Heat cream works well on aches and pains, smells awful though. Like I said before, I sprained my ankle again on Friday and on Saturday and Sunday I kept putting the cream on and I was out playing football again today, fell on it which hurt a bit but generally it feels better now.

It sucks because I really wanted to get faster this summer, but I'll probably end of having to rest. I wish my summer was longer...

same with me mate, its not that im slow, but my condition sucks. if i run for a certain period of time i get these pains in my stomach and my chest. does that happen to you too? right now in germany im training with a youth team and let me tell you man, they are bloody amazing. hopefully when i get back to the states ill be kicking some ass.

^Yeah right. Crew beating Foothills? That'll happen!!!

^I'm the same as you. I can never seem to get into good shape. After alot of running, I can't breath deeply; when I do, it feels like a burning cold sensation and it makes me cough. And my stomach just aches really badly like someone is kicking me from the inside.

hey man i said ill kick some ass. not neccesarily my whole team. haha. but watch out, this year we might actually be a little bit better...

At this rate I will never be better.


I hate living here. THERES NOTHING TO DO AND NOWHERE TO GO!!!

just play football

the last two posts, thats me...im bored call my friends hey wanna go to the hockey rink and play..okay 5 mins

as far as fitness u guys should try to do spinning, when u start it gets ur legs stronger because they move the whole 40 mins. and then when u get ur leg strength up u do target heart rates so its pretty intense

hey mate^, hows your foot coming?

i got out last tuesday and i think it was bad not because of the cut but because of the infection so like 2 days later i was juggling, im surprised u remembered

anytime, its good that your ok now

just skip dude! its fukin ace, iv been doing it for 6 weeks now , 3 times a week for like 15 min each time, fitness is up, agility is up, take of speed is up, like my sprinting over 3 to 5 m is so much faster then it used to be which is mad for getting to passes first, btw i told them i ran a 11.4 and some guy who ran like sub 11's was trying to tell me i was full of shit, i hate that section so bad

^I know what you mean. All people do is lie in there. I would jump rope (skip,) but activates my shin splints so badly. It's the worst, and doctors keep telling me to rest, but I can't!!!!!!

jumping rope?lol, i just pictured that dumb corbin bleu guy from disney channel doing double dutch, dont ask


part of my plans this summer was to get bigger and lift alot of weights but im really skinny, and my mom was just calling this guy to talk about a diet and the guy is having me over to lift, now im supposed to lift with him...(i know u guys are going to think im full of crap but if u read muscle and fitness this guy works out with jim romagna)

my older brother has a man crush on him

Never written in here, but I have to tell every1 that I am FINALLY finished my worst exams ever!!! And to top off the excitement, I bought a PSP from my mate from school for 25 gbp, including the memory card and White Chicks DVD!!! Woohoo!!

thats a good deal

never noticed this was a pub type thread.. in the middle of no where lol.

i'm xinzhi, 17yrs old.

being injury prone sucks as i've given up on serious club football.. restricted myself to district school carnival tournaments and light indoor soccer games here and there.

im pretty sure theres ways to avoid being injury prone and u shouldnt have to restrict yourself from playing. what happened?
