With an Exercise Science specialist now on board we can now offer a much more holistic programme rather than just football itself. Here is an example of a few days from a weekly programme given to a client.

Improving strength and Fitness

Key points:

Plenty of water (at least 2-3 liters a day). Also, do not drink loads in one go, try and be
consistent throughout the day, not all at once.

Skipping breakfast and things like that will not help you lose weight or speed up the process.

You need to be in a Calorific Deficit, meaning you are burning off more calories than you
consume. You can use the MyFitnessPal app to track calories and nutrient intake and record
your daily activity and calories burned. It is free to download and use.

The obvious point, but plenty of fruit and vegetables. I mentioned Banana’s and smoothies to
help you with this. Kiwi and Blueberries are also excellent for you and your goals specifically.

Consumption of foods high in fiber will be great for you. For example, oats, brown rice and
lentils to name a few.

Make sure when you have at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night.
Monday
3 KM run (on the road or treadmill) push yourself to sprint the last 200-300 meters of this run.
(Tip: the more you try to run quietly, light on your feet and quieter breathing, the easier you will
find it, try it out and you’ll see what I mean). Time each run and keep a record of progress.
Tuesday

Push Ups
5 x 10 reps (do the half or wall push ups I showed you if you are struggling with the conventional
push up. It will get easier with time).
