(Page 2)

Here is a sample workout schedule:

What Is Cross Training And Why Should I Do It?

  • Challenge your body to learn new movements.
  • Avoid injury from overuse/repetitive motion.
  • Decrease boredom thus increasing your desire to stick to it!

Get creative with your exercise routine! Mix it up to increase intensity, fun & fitness.

Here's How To Get Started

  • Do aerobic exercise four days a week.
