t started out just a few years
ago, but cross training is walking
Ivery fast and very confident
down the fitness path. Since it
was first introduced into gyms,
it has taken giant steps, and is
beginning to establish itself as an
excellent global offering of physical
fitness. Cross training has become
fashionable.
Although this type of training
was practiced in army special corps
in several countries around the
world, it is only three decades ago
that it began to become popular.
Now, it’s evolving at a dizzying
speed, popular in every city in every
country. Right now, thousands of
gyms around the world offer Cross
Training as a main course, as the
recommended training.
The basis of cross training is
exercise with weights combined
with resistance and power
movements, combining gymnastics
with weightlifting, power and
speed athletics, applying these
disciplines to performing sets of
exercises in a row, at full speed,
with hardly any rest, in order to
get you in shape very quickly. As
a result, you see bodies with an
excellent shape, endowed with
superior strength and almost
inexhaustible physical resistance.
It is a type of training that uses the
best of the preparing workouts
intended for the police and fire
departments and the military
profession.
