My kids play soccer each Fall, and as I watch them continuously running around for about an hour I wonder, “How are they not tired or bored with the game?” Then I realize how much they actually love the sport of soccer. Not only are they excited about their games, but I'm happy too because this is the most consistent exercise they get all year, and they love doing it!

A study shows how soccer is winning out over running because of its fun factor! In the United States, many translate soccer as a kids game since it is not necessarily as popular among adults. But I think it's great that certain sports, like soccer, are now more readily used as a form of exercise and the focus is moving away from traditional exercise regimens, like jogging, biking, etc.

So get on-line and find the closest adult league forming in your area!
