Anyone watched the world cup match last night between Brazil and Chile. Very 'chilling' game it was, wasn't it. As much as I am a Brazil fan, I have to say, the match yesterday was a bit off the ledge. Very close call it was, and it kept me at the corner of my seat throughout. But, one more thing that always puzzles me, how can these guys be so top notch and running, sprinting, kicking, falling, and still be functioning well. Man, just look at those calf muscles beneath their stockings. Wish I could be half as fit.
What you think? Awesome right?
These guys are so fit, but, of course we all know, from all that rough playing, these players easily succumb to injuries. this is because all the joints, tendons and muscles of these players are being pushed to their maximum. But at the same time, they are monitored really closely. We can see after their games, some of them who are having cramps are instantly given cold packs or a quick stretch and massage. They also undergo monthly examination and are supplemented with numerous types of supplements. So, all those futsal players out there, do be careful when you over exert yourself. Eat properly and take care of those joints.
Below are some of the workouts which I think would benefits our love for football and strong legs:
- Squats
- Lunges (Including Side lunge)
- Calf Raises
- Hamstring machine curls
- Leg extension on machine.
Hamstring machine curls
Leg extension on machine.
Not forgetting the abs as a strong core is very important. You can do these exercises maybe 2-3 times a week, and I bet you'd be able to see some fast improvements during your games. And I always stress how important it is to eat right. Have some fish oil supplements, and if your older, you can try Tri-Flex from GNC. Trust me on that, that thing works. Good whole foods would be, fish, (have plenty of those!), white rice (before your workouts for energy), banana, and heal afterwords with adequate amounts of protein. Good luck!
