Soccer versus jogging
Sorry for the lack of posts this week so far. I've been busy at work, but promise a few posts today - so you can still get your fill! :)
Tomorrow morning (saturday) at 8:00 a.m. eastern time, turn your TV sets to ESPN2 and watch the U.S. Women's soccer team battle England in the quarterfinals of the Women's World Cup. We're by far favored to win, but tune in for a great match.
In the spirit of the Women's World Cup this new research study I read about today finds that soccer is better exercise than jogging. All I can say is that it definitely is more exciting! :) I love both, but soccer beats jogging in the fun category too. (Read the article here).
The researchers found that a friendly game of soccer actually burns more fat and builds more muscle than jogging. So get out your cleats and soccer ball and a few friends and go scrimmage! Have fun and know that you're getting a great workout.
Watch the game tomorrow morning for some great moves to emulate.
