Fall/Winter Cross Training for Runners, Bikers, Tri-athletes

We have had an Indian Summer so far, but it's not too early to start thinking about cross-training for the cardio/conditioning sports during the fall and winter months.

Runners-- this includes joggers, trail walkers--strong core, including back & shoulders is essential for running endurance.

Swimmers--give the rotators a rest and come in the gym to strengthen the chest & shoulders.

Bikers--squats and lunges help give your quads power. Strong traps help give you overall endurance for leaning forward for long periods.

Come in for a free health & fitness assessment and we can talk about how we can help you cross train.

Crosstraining

Are you in-training for a spring or summer Ride, Walk, Triathalon or Sprint?

Many people are good about practicing the actual sport, but many fail to crosstrain with weight and resistance.

With good intentions, some people overtrain the same muscles by continuously running, swimming, biking or walking.

Not only are the same muscles overused, but different motion, range of motion, and strength of surrounding muscles is not achieved.

For example:

* Runners need to strengthen their core and upper bodies and focus on their abdominals.

* Bikers need to strengthen their back, necks, shoulders and even hands and forearms.

* Swimmers need to work on strengthening all aspects of their arms.
