Cross Training 101 by Scott James is a good starting point if you’re ready to commit to exhilarating and possibly life-changing workouts. The book not only defines cross training, it also explains what it does to the body, debunking myths and lies along the way. It’s as comprehensive as it can get when it comes to the topic of physical fitness through cross training. There’s the notion that cross training is only for the hardcore and seasoned athletes, but the more I read about the book, the more I am convinced that this is not always the case. It’s a matter of undergoing a hybrid style of training that would benefit the body. This means that the workouts specified in the training will bring improvements to all areas of fitness. It’s not limited to just one aspect of fitness. Cross training has got it all covered – from endurance to agility to power and strength to coordination and balance. You name it, it’s all in there.I’m quite impressed at the list of recommended WODs for different training levels. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, man or woman, there’s a workout fit for you. And just when I thought it would stop with physical training, the author goes beyond that and discussed the right kind of diet for people undergoing cross-training. There’s a preference for the Paleo diet and the author convincingly explains why. Overall, this book is enlightening and useful. I recommend it to both beginners and experts.
