All of the things I have been reading about doing long walks encourage cross training. While I would rather do walking workouts, I have decided to add cross training once a week. I like to ride the spinner bikes at the gym and riding the bike gives me the opportunity to read for an hour - so it isn't all bad! Here is what most sites say about cross training:
Produces a higher level of all around conditioning
Conditions the entire body, not just specific muscle groups
Reduces the risk of injury
Work some muscles while others rest and recover
About.com has a lot of information about walking. Here is a good site about cross training.
Tonight during my spinning I was reading a crazy little book called Long Way Down by Nick Hornby.
