While watching the World Cup, you seem to be reminded constantly how sexy soccer players are. I'm not talking about just by watching, I'm talking about the fact that announcers keep talking about how such-and-such soccer play was voted the sexiest player in Europe or South America or something. As a woman I agree, these players probably have the best bodies in sports, but it's kind of annoying to be constantly reminded of this during a close soccer match.

The one thing that these comments do get me thinking about is how committed you have to be to get a body like that. For these athletes it's not about learning how to mix HCG or taking a few minutes at the gym, it's about constant exercise mixed with a diet that is carefully controlled and scrutinized. It's not so much a physical thing but a mental thing, and something that very few of us would have the self control to successfully do. This is why athletes are so damn mentally strong.

Ok, look, these people aren't Superman or something. It's not like they are doing something absolutely extraordinary. With that said, you have to be impressed with someone who can exercise and train for hours a day and eat a diet that probably doesn't include any of your favorite foods. Plus, since these soccer players are among the most popular people in the world, being in the spotlight constantly they are always being scrutinized for their body and their play. Look at someone like David Beckham. One of the best soccer players of our generation and he is constantly being attacked by people who ever do what he does.

So how do you look like a soccer player? It's easy: just train and eat like a soccer player. As mentioned above, half of it is just mental fortitude. To get into that type of shape you need to commit to it, not just expect to do it through diet and exercise. Think of it this way: to be in soccer friendly shape you need to be able to run up and down the field for a full 90 minutes. This means that you not only need strength (especially in your legs), but also a good amount of cardio for your endurance. Once you've mastered your workout routine you then have to think about putting together a diet that will help you lose weight and build muscle. This means cutting out the carbs and stocking up on proteins and vegetables. Sound fun? Also, try skipping dessert for the next ten years.

Soccer is a tough sport and getting in shape for it is harder than you might imagine. Try started slow and if you find your able to commit to it you could have the next Beckham body. Of course, now you just have to learn how to play soccer.
