With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I'm looking to start playing again and i'm looking to get in the best shape possible. Doc says i cant life weights with legs due to injury. So virtually all the training i used to due is right out of the window! Help is needed. I need strength and certainly conditioning....any ideas guys?

As you progress, I would eventually start interval training, which mimics how soccer is actually played. Also, what about body weight exercises such as lunges or squats with your back against a wall? Lifting your upper body shouldnt be a problem.
