Try a team sport instead of jogging
Challenge Yourself for: 30 days
A recent study by Danish scientists who conducted research on 37 men found that soccer players worked off more fat and built more muscle than joggers exercising for the same amount of time. In addition, the soccer players had more fun and felt less muscle pain and exertion.
If you’re a jogger, or if you’ve been thinking about starting a jogging routine, consider joining a team sport instead. You may find yourself having more fun and even looking forward to your exercise routine.
Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine.

I play soccer on Sundays with some guys. Not only am I getting a great workout, but I’ve gotten much better at soccer too!
I play tennis & volleyball regularly, but am moving to a larger city and have no idea where to start on getting “plugged in” to the community or group sports.
