Book Synopsis

If you participate in more than one sport or fitness activity, then you are cross-training.

From Simon & Schuster, Gordon Bloch's Cross-Training is the perfect companion to achieve more complete fitness, to relieve the boredom of engaging in only one activity, to combat prohibitive weather conditions, to prevent injuries, and more.

From the Back Cover

If you participate in more than one sport or fitness activity--whether it's golf in the summer and squash in the winter; running on Mondays and tennis on Tuesdays; or a combined daily workout at the gym--then you are cross-training. You may be doing it to achieve more complete fitness; to relieve the boredom of engaging in only one activity; to combat prohibitive weather conditions; or to prevent injuries; but you're doing it, and "Cross-Training" is the perfect companion.

Find out the what, when, why, how, and where of cross-training, and: which muscles are worked by which sports; how to combine your favorite activities into an all-around workout; cross-training to enhance performance in a single sport or event; using cross-training to help avoid injury; working less common activities--like waterskiing, in-line skating, jazz dancing, and boxing--into your cross-training program; and much, much more.
