We’ve all been told that cross- training is a good idea to avoid overtraining, to reduce the chance of overuse injuries, and to improve our performance in a specific sport. Whether or not these benefits are completely viable is up for debate. It seems that it depends on what your sport is and what exactly you are doing for cross- training. Weight training is one activity which tends to improve overall performance in other sports.

Thank you Marcia, for taking to time to guest blog about wellness psychology. Marcia will be writing a series of blogs for Momentum Fitness. We hope you enjoy her thoughts and advice about how to reach your fitness goals…..
JUST DO IT!
People like to say that psychology is just common sense, but in fact the field draws from a great deal of sophisticated science. There is an enormous body of research into how people form beliefs and attitudes, and how to promote the behaviors that lead to health and wellness. Rhode Island is in fact a hotbed for this sort of research. In this column, I hope to describe some exercises that can be helpful to clients at the gym in order to reach their fitness goals.
As a health psychologist, I observe many aspects of personal training that serve to promote fitness goals but the most important is the relationship with the trainer, or coach. The simple fact that there is another person involved makes it more likely that clients will stick with regular exercise, make more effort during exercises, and continue to make progress. Last year I broke my foot and I never thought I’d walk evenly again, but now I can. I’ve also seen that there’s a tremendous amount of technical skill involved in designing fitness programs. I’ve gone through a graded series of exercises to strengthen the foot along with the rest of the body, but it is the support of the gym that has made it possible.
