By spreading the cumulative level of orthopedic stress over additional muscles and joints, individuals are able to exercise more frequently and for longer duration without excessively overloading particularly vulnerable areas of the body (e.g., knees, hips, back, shoulders, elbows and feet). Individuals who want to lose weight and body fat should engage in an exercise program that enables them to safely burn a significant number of calories. Research has shown that such a goal, in most instances, is best accomplished when individuals exercise for relatively long durations (i.e., more than 30 minutes) at a moderate level of intensity (i.e., 60 percent to 85 percent of maximal heart rate). Cross training can include activities that develop muscular fitness, as well as aerobic conditioning.

If you’re looking to start your own cross-training and functional gym, you’re at the right place. When choosing supplies for cross-training, opt for the highest quality equipment that can withstand extreme pounding and throwing and should last for years.
