So working out at night is absolutely fine. Ideally, if you can work out 5 days per week then do resistance training for 45min-1hr(incl warmup/cooldown) M,W,F and do 30min cardio T,Th. Make one of your cardio days HIIT (fitbuddy for definition) and the other cardio day do a steady pace. Always start your resistance training with a 5-10min warmup. Hope this helps! Good Luck! -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

Two or three times a week is good, but ensure it's at a different time from the weights... or better yet, different day. t -------------- I am training for birthdays. Be here. Live. Love. Hope. Now.
