Aerobic cross-training refers to using two to three
different types of aerobic exercise during an exercise
session. For example, if you plan to exercise for 60
minutes, you might start with 20 minutes of walking or
jogging, followed by 20 minutes of biking, and finish with
20 minutes of rowing.
Now, please don't get the impression that you have to be in
great shape to do this or that it has to be 60 minutes long.
You can start with something as simple as a ten minute walk
followed by ten minutes with an exercise video. This is
cross-training too. You can gradually build up from there.
Here are some of the exercises you can use in your
cross-training program; walking, jogging, biking, rowing,
stair climbing, swimming, exercise videos, etc. Any
combination of aerobic exercises will do. You simply go from
one to the next with very little time between them.
Aerobic cross-training is beneficial to you in several ways:
1. It provides variety which eliminates the monotony often
associated with doing the same exercise for a long period of
time.
2. If your exercise sessions are less monotonous and more
enjoyable, you are much more likely to exercise more often
and for longer periods of time.
3. You are less prone to over-use injuries that sometimes
occur from doing the same exercise movements over and over
again.
4. You tone more muscles because you are using more muscles.
For example, walking tones mostly the lower body muscles and
rowing tones upper body muscles also. Even exercises like
walking and biking that both tone lower body muscles, tone
them at different angles and each tones some small muscles
that the other doesn't.
5. Aerobic conditioning is very specific to the muscles
being worked. For example, you can walk ten miles a day and
still be somewhat breathless after climbing stairs because
you haven't trained the muscles for that specific movement.
Aerobic cross-training allows you to develop more
comprehensive aerobic training.
6. Aerobic cross-training is effective for weight loss
because your are toning and training the fat-burning systems
of more of your muscles. It turns more of your muscles into
24-hour fat-burning machines! You are also more likely to
exercise on a regular basis and for longer periods of time.
this also promotes weight loss and fitness.
