Biking for Cross Training

It was raining at lunch so my training partner and I hit the stationary bikes at the gym.
Using a different activity can help strengthen muscles not used by walking. And, wow, I could quickly feel those muscles!

Lesson learned: I need to add a day or two of cross training into my weekly walking/running routine.

You can supplement walking with biking or any other aerobic activity - tennis, martial arts, swimming, a step class, even dancing. Just mix it up. It will keep your workouts interesting and ensure you're working your entire body.
