Wednesday Wisdom: Cross Training

Wednesday Wisdom, Inspiration, Motivation for Women Entrepreneurs, Females in Sports

It was so windy that my bike felt like it was going sideways. Gusts of changeable Springtime air pushed me and my bike everywhere. I couldn’t let the wind stop me because it was a cross-training day for my upcoming Big Sur Marathon race. Windy or not, I was getting it done.

As I cruised along, my phone beeped. It was a reminder from Duolingo about my Italian lesson. It didn’t want me to lose my 133-day practice streak. I started learning my family’s home language after visiting my grandparents’ Italian hometowns for my 60th birthday. I love learning another language—another cross-training experience.

As America and global life keep changing, starting cross-training for your business or personal life isn’t a bad idea. It’s hard to find time to add something new to our daily agenda, but what if a new online course, another language, or a new technological advancement could positively affect your life by training in these areas? Perhaps your staff could also benefit from cross-training in each other’s positions in case of maternity leave, illness, efficiency, or a need to reduce staff hours.

Today’s Wednesday Wisdom inspires you to consider cross-training in several spheres of your life. The training could be in fitness, entrepreneurship, technology, advanced studies in your field, or something you’d love to learn or improve.

As Wikipedia states about physical cross-training, “Cross-training is a versatile approach that involves engaging in various physical activities to improve overall fitness, performance, and reduce the risk of injury.” If you are more interested in cross-training employees, an informative article on the benefits is at this link.

Why not consider what type of new engagement can improve your performance in any area of your overall life?
