The Benefits of Cross
Training.
Cross-training. It is not to
be confused with cross-dressing.
What you may or may not do behind closed doors is entirely your own
business.
But if you’re looking to liven up your everyday workout
regimen, perhaps you’ll come out of the closet (in your
workout attire, of course) and prepare to mix some cross-training
into your schedule. And unlike cross-dressing, it won’t cause
you any public ridicule or frequent double takes.
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.
Take care,
