We Heart Living – 5 sports to try this spring

1. Football

The nation’s favourite sport needs little more than a ball and a few friends for a kick about. Whatever your age, ability or fitness level, there is a type of football suitable for you.

Playing football is a great way to get in shape; it requires players to be active for a substantial period of time and covering significant distances while running up and down the field. Football provides an extensive cardio workout as well as working the core and legs as you sprint, kick, jump and dodge other players. Alongside this you’ll improve your agility and co-ordination.

If you’re a newbie, struggle with the offside rule, or fancy a bit of light competition there are plenty of places to learn the art of the beautiful game. Check out Player Wanted to find teams to join in your area.
