Try a team sport instead of jogging

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 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.

I’m signing up for tennis classes next month when the weather gets nicer and I can play outside. Even though it’s not really a team sport, it kinda feels like it because I can participate with lots of different partners.

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!
