Do you hate cross training?

I really don’t like cross training that much. I have an exercise bike that cost some serious $ so I feel guilty for not riding it so much. But man is it boring pedaling and not going anywhere. I do it because it helps my knees. Does anyone else cross train and feel the same way? Tips to make it better. Thanks – Coach Tief. http://www.tips4running.com/

CROSSFIT TRAINERS AND MEMBERS?

howdy
i recently got accepted into the texas a&m rugby team and the coach recommended crossfit to me. Ive done a little research on it and am very excited to try it out. Just one little thing bothers me, I dont want to lose my power. When I read through the WOD and courses i see alot of body strength type excerise, i undertstand it is supposed to make you better in alot of areas, but is it possible I can do crossfit and still do powerlifting.(small reps – alot of weight) I dont want to lose hitting power.Thanks

Do you wear newton running shoes all the time?

I am planning on getting the sir issac s newton running shoes, but my coach is telling me that I don’t wear these things as normal shoes. Is he right? Or does he think that the breaking in period of where I would get used to the shoes is why I wouldn’t wear them all the time?

Swimming for cross country training?

My coach told me to run 15-30 minutes during the summer for cross country training…but I want to do something besides just running (like swimming). How much would I have to swim to excercise my legs as much as running and what should I do while swimming? I don’t have a very large pool and it is oddly shaped so laps would not be very helpful. Thank you.

Cross-training for figure skating?

What do you do for cross training for figure skating? Why, why is it good?
For me i mostly have artistic problems and im growing right now so im a little shaky. What would you recommend?
BTW i am a competitive ice skater so i take it pretty seriously.
Im already more flexible than my coach (she still skates), so i dont really need that.. Doest gymnastics interfere with skating?
