Alright i'm 16 and all summer i had been doing great with weights lowering body fat and my cardio. But now soccer has begun and i dont know if my legs could take the soccer plus other running. On the days I dont do weight training i do cardio and ab workout. Do you guys think that my soccer practices that make me sweat a whole lot always running, replace my running cardio. So instead I would have soccer practice ab workout and hit a heavy bag for 20-30 minutes. Will this still help lower body fat with my good diet
 
The point of running isn't to sweat, it's to get your heartrate up to a good rate that will help burn fat. Soccer, in my opinion, is like doing constant HIIT training and that is great for fat burning. Soccer is great for cardio..I think you will be fine. BUT, if you feel that you aren't getting enough cardio, your legs will be fine after all the conditioning they will get in your soccer practice.
 
If you want to lower bf you need to look at your diet, soccer is great for cardido and fatloss (as long as you're not the goalie)
 
Your good to go with soccer....just condition yourself for the sport. Don't get too carried away with excess training and just eat good and plenty.
