Editorial Reviews

Cross-training is a fairly new concept which entails incorporating a variety of physical activities into a personal physical fitness program. Except for books on the subject of training for triathlons, there are relatively few books devoted to the subject of cross-training for individuals who simply want to participate in a variety of physical activities to promote a more balanced approach to fitness. For example, a person whose main activity is running may also bicycle once or twice a week, take an aerobics class, or start a program of power walking. All of these cross-training activities will help maintain the high level of cardiovascular conditioning that running provides, but lessen the chance of injury due to overuse, boredom, or ``burnout.'' This is a good beginner book for anyone interested in starting a cross-training program.--Susan L. Patton, Tennessee Valley Authority, Knoxville
