Cross training
Cross training is a term for using several modes of exercise in your
overall workout regimen. It can also be used to train a specific element of the
condition in order to help improve a different kind of activity. If you
want to improve the strength in your legs, so that you can cycle faster,
you can choose to use the machines in the gym for strengthening the legs
in addition to your cycle training. There are lots of reasons to cross
train. Here are a few of them: It cuts down on the boredom factor.
Let's face it, working out can become monotonous at times. Having a
whole "bank" of activities to choose from, putting them together to fit
your mood or schedule, and always having a choice of somethingnew to add
helps you look forward to working out. It decreases the chance of
overuse injuries.
When we do the same activities over and over again, therefore, using
the same muscles and joints, over time it can cause musculoskeletal
injuries due to just plainold overuse. incorporating many different
activities into your regimen will help avoid overuse injuries, by using
more muscles and joints in various planes. It balances your body out.
This relates to ur previous point: when you use the same muscles all
the time, there are other muscles that aren't being used as much. Varying
your activities vareis themuscles that are used, providing balance to your
body. It increases your intensity.
Doing the same activity all the time allows your body to become very
efficient at that activity. Therefore, the body doesn't need to work as
hard. But throw a new or different activity at it, and it suddenly finds
itself back at work. Think of it this way: if English is your primary
language, it's easy for you to speak and understand it. Now let's say you
know just a little bit of Spanish, and need to use it to get directions.
You have to wrk much harder at communicating. Right? It's the same idea
with exercise! It burns more fat.
Because cross-training naturally makes your body work harder, you're
also going to naturally burn more fat. It gives you a reason to try new
activities.
Chances are there are activities you've been wanting to try, but don't
want to spend a lot of time on them. Cross-training allows you to try them
in small chunks of time, without taking a chance on over-doing it.
