Props to Scott James for compiling such an impressive array of WOD (workouts of the day) for Cross Training. What is Cross Training? It's an athletic style of training that focuses on improving cardiovascular fitness in a difficult, yet fun, way that encourages the individual. It is designed to "shock" the body by using various workouts at various intensities as opposed to having a standard regiment, boring equipment, and exercises. It keeps the entire process fun and very practical as so many of these WOD you can perform anywhere at any time - very important for those of us who do a lot of traveling or are at work all day and want some exercise on the spot. The WOD range from beginner to advanced and are certain to keep even the most physically fit of people busy for a lifetime.One very important subject he includes is one some don't emphasize enough and that is diet. Dieting is a HUGE part of building a new you and James covers it perfectly. He champions the "Paleo" diet - a diet composed of unprocessed foods and foods that existed before the advent of modern farming. This will help detox the body of preservatives, artificial colors, and more harmful chemicals. The benefits of this diet switch is huge. I also appreciate how he pointed out GMO in his chart of what to avoid. It's a controversial subject and I'm glad to see health fitness experts are making more and more mention of it. He then goes on to discuss supplementation, different types of proteins, vitamins, and more.Whether you're a beginner looking to improve his/her diet and do some fun exercises, or a hardcore fitness enthusiast, Scott James will help you reach your potential with this guide.
