text: "American Obesity". Since I loved the sport so much I naturally lost 30 lb; since soccer requires a lot of cardiovascular training such as running. I also found my self doing other exercises to help my self get better at the sport such as swimming,yoga, and much more! It is a known fact that people who are more fit tend to look after them selves, and move around much more than the "average Joe." Therefore, extracurricular activities such as soccer are important and one should be taken by at least every student because they provide a healthy amount of exercise (that is enjoyable), in a students daily life, and can solve problem such as being over-weight.
