	Whaddaya mean? Cross-training? Apart from running every evening and the occational recovery run in the morning I don't have time for much. Does driving a sports car count?
	Run more.

Does it count if it's a peppy Mazda 3 manual with a kid in the backseat telling me that we're in a race (on the interstate) and to drive faster and turn the stereo louder (damned kid's gonna get me a speeding ticket one of these days)?! k

	So, I'm a WW Kayaker. Anyone out there do that? I'm totally terrified and in love with the sport at the same time. I also play Kayak polo - but it's getting to be too hard on my shoulders. Lastly, my weight program is the Les Mills 'BodyPump'. I can't recommend this program enough if a gym near you provides it. It's the BEST. Kimmer

One of my best friends is doing this and says it is KILLER! I'm not sure if any of our gyms around here offer that. Would it be something a person could do at home with a video? k

	Would it be something a person could do at home with a video?"> Unfortunately, not. Doing the excercises correctly to minimize injury and maximize results would make it very difficult to do at home. Plus the equipment probably isn't for resale anywhere. Check it out tho at lesmills.com. I also do BodyCombat, BodyStep, and my favorite, BodyJam

	Hmmm...looks like the nearest clubs to me are an hour away. Looks like they use just standard barbells and weights, though. I wonder how different some of that is to Cathe Friedrich's weight workouts. Though I don't know that any of her workouts really use choreography, per se. k

	Quote from Todd on 8/16/2006 at 3:16 AM: I follow the workout of the day on Crossfit.com. This is an excellent resource for weight training and bodyweight execises. The workouts are usually short and intense. They make a good complement to running. Do you do the exercises at home or in the gym? I have looked at the site and it seems to be a very good program. Although I fear an injury if I jump right into it. But I will try to ease into it gradually.
	Run more.

	I love rowing for the total body workout!

	Swimming! Freestyle at a steady pace. I swam 600 yds yesterday. It really strengthens the back, upper body and arms.
	Run whenever you can, walk if you must, crawl if you have to - but never give up! ........

	I cycle and do yoga. My hussband, who got me into running, has had knee problems and now just cycles, so I do that to be able to spend time with him (and get to work cheaply!) The yoga keeps me mellow, and it's non-competitive! Any kind of exercise that lets me lie down and close my eyes is good to me....
