What about cross training??

Well, what about it?  What is it exactly?  Cross training basically means to use different types of exercise instead of simply doing the same thing day in and day out.  

One of the most significant benefits of cross-training is the prevention of injury.  If you consistently do one exercise every day you can cause a repetitive use  injury,  Injury prevention is certainly not the only benefit cross training! Fitness enthusiasts can use cross training to improve fitness, promote recovery and rehabilitation, improve motivation levels, remove the predictability out of their workout, and rejuvenate the body and soul. The principles of cross training can be applied across a variety of fitness modalities, including yoga and pilates. That is to say, cross-training is not restricted to the more conventional methods of fitness such as running, swimming or cycling.  If your passion is running, try a yoga class.  If you like to power walk, mix it up with a weight and cardio class...  it's all about keeping it interesting and fun!!  Mix it up and most importantly.... JUST DO IT!!!
