Cross Over to a New Dimension
Cross-training is the method in which you blend a series of
different activities into your workouts. For instance, instead
of running every day or biking every day, cross-training allows
you to delve into a variety of exercise routines.
These different activities can vary from day to day or even from
minute to minute. Instead of devoting an entire workout to one
particular exercise, like stair climbing, blend in several
exercises during the session. Devote 15 minutes to the
treadmill, perhaps another 15 on the exercise bike, indulge in
light weight training for another 15 minutes, and then take on
an aerobics class. That's cross-training. The possibilities, the
combinations, are endless.
Along with cross-training comes a slew of fitness benefits. The
variation you throw into your workouts should trigger faster,
more satisfying results. When you're partaking in the same, old
exercises day in and day out, you're body becomes accustomed
to
the regular routine. Thus, the gains will come to a standstill.
Cross training aptly initiates the change-up that your workouts
may need by shocking your body with new, foreign exercises. If
you're used to swimming five days a week and suddenly, you
substitute a swim for a jog through the park, your body will
recognize the difference.
Also, cross-training may be a better option for avoiding
injuries. While a constant strain is put on certain joints if
you're running every day, other joints will be used in specific
exercises like weight training or say, rock climbing.
Then again, there's one more useful function of cross-training.
It'll kill the boredom.
