Cross-Train in a park.

One of the best ways to get a workout in is to cross-train. What does that mean to cross-train? It simply means to involve varying varietys of exercises all together for one great workout. Today I took the dogs to our local park. The park has a track so we ran around for about a mile. While the dogs played in shade with tennis balls, I found a picnic bench and did pushups, tricep dips and step-ups. This is a great example of how easy it is to do a cross-train. You can work on both your cardio and strength training at the same time to burn a huge number of calories!
