Hello Everyone,
I thought that before we got into details on specific sports I thought that I would talk about cross training and how it helps me as a 7th grade athlete. I am not going to recommend any certain type of cross training that you should use because every one is a little different and so everyone has a little different way that they train and I am not an expert so I would make sure that you ask a professional trainer or coach before you go out and try to use any type of cross training. Once you know what to do though, it is a great way to help your muscles on a sport but not doing the sport directly is probably the simplest way to describe it. An example is that one out of ever three days a runner will do a bike ride. Now on to the interesting part. The coolest method of cross training that I have tried is probably this type of bike called the ElipteGo, it is a bike which looks like an over sized scooter and the chain that moves the tire around is hooked up to two paddles that move like an elliptical, its super cool! More tomorrow.

P.S. Happy Halloween and don't eat to much candy.
