Do you cross-train?
Think of a well-rounded program as touching all the points of a healthy body- flexibility, strength, core stability, endurance, cardiovascular health. You’ll want to include movements or activities that tax your cardiovascular system like running, biking, rowing, or swimming. Add in movements that build strength in the joints and muscular system like weight lifting, functional training, or machines. Make sure to include core training to keep your movements controlled and efficient. Round out the program with movements that help improve range of motion in the joints and decrease tension like yoga, stretching, or mobility training.

A common mistake exercisers make is to repeat the same movements, whether jogging lifting, or daily activities. This can lead to overuse strains, pains, and even injuries. Implementing a cross-training program will help alleviate these imbalances and address any weaknesses in your movement.
