Im glad you asked! The Cross Training WOD Bible 2.0 contains 586 NEW workouts! You wont find any of these workouts in the original Cross Training WOD Bible. Kettlebell and bodyweight WODs are fantastic but I thought it was time to add a tad more variety this time too! Amidst the plethora of fresh WODs located in this book youll find many new categories incorporating bikes, jump ropes, dumbbells, rowers, boxing bags and wall balls just to name a few.
The beauty Of The WOD
Why choose a WOD over a conventional 3, 5 or 7 day workout regime that remains the same week after week? I understand, if youre new to cross training or are sceptical about the forever changing daily workouts and havent yet given them a try allow me to explain THE STRUGGLE IS BEAUTIFUL These workouts are tough, theres no doubt about it.
Why are these workouts tough? Because theyre designed for results. You wont find any sissy triceps isolation exercise or pointless movements in the Cross Training WOD Bible each and every WOD is designed to forge strength and health in both the physical and mental aspects of your life. STRESS RELIEF Swinging kettlebells, giving it your all on the air bike, leaping onto high boxes and hurling your wall ball at the target are all moves requiring an epic amount of exertion and youre performing these daily. The stress at your job, the frustration from friends, whatever else youre currently battling through in your life all falls at the wayside while you battle against the clock and yourself to complete your WOD.
STRUCTURE When you get in your car you have a destination in mind and a known path (whether this be a road map or a GPS) to get there. To get results in terms of physical fitness you NEED to have a structured workout. The following 586 workouts are structured based upon the style of workout and equipment you have access to quite frankly youre spoiled for choice. Regardless of whether youre a beginner or a time-tested battler there are WODs here for you! FITS INTO THE BUSIEST OF SCHEDULES So many individuals claim that they dont have the time to exercise well, Im here to the rescue. Dependant on the WOD you choose to perform youll only need 5 15 minutes in most cases! Everyone has a few spare minutes a day, if you find yourself currently making the excuse that you dont have time to train then Id recommend waking up 15 minutes earlier, cutting back on 15 minutes of television in the evening your body and your mind will thank you for it. Whether youre in your gym, a paddock in the middle of nowhere or a tiny apartment building there is always a suitable, scalable WOD to suit your level of conditioning, the amount of space you have and the arsenal of equipment (or lack thereof) at your disposal.
ADAPT TO SURVIVE It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change Famous, insightful words from Charles Darwin. Why do the same few presses, pull-ups and biceps curls workout after workout, week after week? In order to build both functional strength and an unbreakable mindset to match you need to subject yourself to exercises, workouts, weights and situations that you havent done before and that youre not quite sure of. Its the unknown and your ability to adapt that will ensure your success. Not to mention variety is the spice of life! FORGE A TEAM OF WINNERS Champions come in pairs of two because they battle themselves in perfection Greg Plitt You can only go so far alone. Many of these workouts are designed to be performed with a partner or a team of multiple members! Forge your own team of winners and perform your WODs with a group of friends theres many benefits to doing this such as the motivation youll feed each other, a bit of friendly competition which will force you to lift heavier, train quicker and become better not to mention the relationships youll form while doing so.
Programming Because One Size Does NOT Fit All
You might be completely new to fitness, having never performed a serious workout before or perhaps youre an elite athlete looking to diversify your workout portfolio.
Either way, no problems whatsoever! Every WOD is scalable and can easily be adjusted to suit your needs, abilities, strength and current level of conditioning. WOD DURATION Workout durations can be adjusted to cater for inexperienced (shorter duration) or endurance focused athletes (longer duration). ROUNDS Number of rounds can be adjusted to increase or decrease the workload per WOD, this is useful not only based on your current level of physical fitness, but also when time does not permit an exhausting endurance workout. REPETITIONS Repetitions per exercise can be modified based upon the weight of the dumbells, kettlebells, wall ball etc. youre using. Bodyweight exercise repetitions can be decreased to focus more intently on your heavy Olympic lifting movements (this comes down to identifying and programming for your personal goals and focuses).
