Your videos have not only taught me how to train properly like an athlete and footballer but put me into the perspective of your life as a pro. Watching your videos regular gave me a real insight into the career and outside day to day routine as a footballer and put me into a guaranteed mindset that this is absolutely what I want to do and will do whatever it takes to get there. #ricfitteam

Thanks so much Dave! I greatly appreciate your support 👍🏼❤️

Keep in mind, the Five stars are based on my needs for this item kzbin.infoUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS When I first bought the bike I was going to return it immediately. After trying it out for several days/weeks I came to realize it is actually perfect for WHY I bought it.This is not a workout, the resistance is, eh, it makes a bit of noise, not loud, and it isn’t very stable even with the mat. The mat certainly keeps the bike from sliding but nothing keeps the mat from sliding (if that makes any sense, lol). Mine is place on my hard wood floor. Maybe it would be better with a rug underneath??I sit for long hours for work and wanted something to keep my legs moving. This bike does exactly that! For the price it is amazing, it is compact, easy to use, light weight, keeps track of time, calories etc (not sure how accurate it is) but good little product. I am happy with it.

[@jensb6522]

I only do the pelvic thrusts when I do my football specific training. 1000 reps for time. I find that if I get a plyo box, stand on that to get a little bit of elevation training and position the box in the center of the gym for motivation.. it is generally a better workout 👍

[@bestsoccertricks]

Good stuff!

[@barnider]

#RicFitTeam Your content has tought me that to really improve in something, you have to consistently put in the work and the reps with max effort, hard work, and good strategy. It still is teaching me, though. And still showing me new, practical stuff, so thanks for that, definitely gonna shout you out at my first ever press conference as a pro. My top 2 social media pages 100%

#RicFitTeam Great video loved it!!! I have been following you for a long time and in that time i have learned a lot, especially for training and nutrition, my nutrition has completely changed at this day i don't eat sugar at all only once a week a bit, with soccer also and how important the fundamentals are, i just came back from a clavicle fracture , i feel better than ever and my technique has changed drastically, right know really trying to recover as much as I train , yeah so your content has helped me insanely much⚽💪

[@barnider]

keep working, good things will come! 💪

[@ricfitacademy]

Thanks so much Simona! Best of luck with your recovery! Please reach out if you have questions!

[@meijersimona]

@@ricfitacademy thank you so much 😊

[@aleksi3339]

Very beginner level workout for a soccer player, in fact this workout would be considered ok if there were limitations regarding lifting weights at the gym. That being said, i would advise you to think about the goal of this workout, what are you trying to achieve? If it's resilience and strength, this is very beginner level. Secondly, static stretching and 15 min warmup could be used more effectively. GL!

[@raefdaou2975]

Strongly agree. Could be much more efficient with choice of exercise. It’s hard to find content that is straight to the point and teaches you what you need to know instead of giving you 50 exercises without a reason why. I’d recommend ATG soccer program for any footballers like me looking for something easy and effective. His content is on YT as well

Is ATG a person or a channel?​@@raefdaou2975

#RicFitTeam The best thing you ever taught me is that there is always a way to improve some parts of your game. I have had to deal with some injuries in the past and didn’t know what to do to improve myself. Right now I know I need to focus on my comeback and can still improve things like my mentality.

[@kennnihnoo]

Quick question . Every time that I workout my hamstrings I feel very sore for at least 3-4 days

[@juliancermele6950]

ric would you tell me in what day of the week you did this routine and why ?

[@kevinflores9246]

The beginning warm-ups seem silly. Like the anterior and posterior pelvic tlit, but make no funny of it bc I soon came to understand why something so simple as doing the warm ups you showed. Go a long way. They help you feel more in touch with your body, like feeling your hips more and just feeling centered and grounded. I had a meniscus tear about 2 years and ever since I been doing yoga to help with my hips and also for strengthen my lower body in general.
