Why Should I Crosstrain?

After years of running the same course at the same distance, not only had my muscles reached a plateau, I found I was rather bored doing the same routine.
Crosstraining works muscle groups that have been neglected by an athlete stuck in a single-exercise rut and adds variety and interest to your workouts.
It’s a great way for any level of exerciser to make sure they get a well rounded workout, to challenge your body in all directions, to reduce the risk of injury, to see faster results, and TO AVOID BOREDOM!!
If you are dedicated to having a fit and healthy body, it is important to vary your exercise routine whether you are a beginner or a professional. Learning a new skill or strengthening neglected body parts opens up a new world of possibilities. After months of the same workout, your body becomes efficient performing the same movements; rather than continuing to improve, you will simply maintain. So to reduce the risk of overuse-injury, expand your training. Challenge yourself, and I guarantee you will see an improvement in both your mental and physical fitness. It's spring! Now's a great time to get outside and try something new and fun.
