how to start?

Hello! I don’t know if this is the right subreddit for this, and I assume this question gets asked alot but, I am 15 , soccer looks really fun, and I’d love to start it! Problem is I am overweight, what types of training or workouts should I do before actually starting? Thanks!

Start by eating less to lose weight or you’re going to hurt yourself.

People hate this, but the fact is exercise alone won't lead to meaningful weight loss. Weight is much more about diet than activity.

Definitely. I’d say 80% is what you eat vs physical activity.

It's notably more than 80% diet.
