Thirty minutes on the treadmill, a familiar weight circuit and a yawn-inspiring session on the elliptical cross-trainer -- it’s no wonder we’re bored at the gym. But, as the old saying goes, “variety is the spice of life.” If you’re beginning to feel like you can’t take another dull moment at the gym, add a mix of cardio, weights and deep stretching to rev up your workout routine. Cross-training improves overall fitness and should/can reduce injury by avoiding muscle overuse. Better yet, it also prevents the dreaded plateau and can help you see faster results including increased muscle tone, flexibility, balance and body fat reduction.
