Cross Training

Cross Training is a way to vary your fitness program by combining different types of exercise activities.

Let me clarify this seemingly hazy statement.
 
– It incorporates cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and flexibility exercises.
– It has several benefits, including full body conditioning; improving skill, agility and balance; flexibility in training plans; and the opportunity to continue training while injured.
– Cross Training is based on functional movements: movements, which are natural to the human body and reflect real-life activity. 
– The exercises performed at high intensity, but it does not necessarily imply that each and everyone needs to perform the given workout in the same form or with the same weight.
– Each exercise is scalable so it can be easily done by anyone based on personal needs and abilities, regardless of people’s ages and level of fitness
– Every workout can be measured and logged so that you can monitor your progress.

What do you do in a Cross Training class?

Classes are usually an hour long. They start with a warm up and some basic gymnastics, which are followed by strength or technical elements and end with a WOD. WOD is the workout of the day, which is generally the most intense part of the class. It varies daily and can combine different elements ranging from weightlifting, kettlebell, body weight and cardio exercises. It generally needs to be completed in a certain amount of time or as fast as possible. Of course it is also very important that you eat right, so that you have the energy to do the exercises.
