TIP OF THE DAY: If you are interested in general fitness, no better combination of exercises exists than the three events of the triathlon. Swimming develops the upper-body muscles. Cycling and Running develop the lower-body muscles, although somewhat different ones. (Cyclings focus is more on the quadriceps; running, the hamstrings and calves.) All three exercises develop the cardiovascular system, running probably the best of the three. Add an occasional walk as a respite from running; strength train a couple of days a week; stretch when the opportunity presents itself; and you come pretty close to possessing the Total Fitness that will allow you to both live longer and better. Even if you dont compete in triathlons, you can train like a triathlete.
