TRAINNING MORE THAN ONCE A DAY!!??

yakuza005uk Posts: 9 Joined: 2002/03/01	2002/04/20, 10:12 AM i was just wondering if it helps to train more than once a day.Personaly i think when i train in the morning, then after a few good wholesome meals i can realy feel my muscles geting to work, but then later on in the day i feel the aching and tiredness which i dont realy mind but have found a way around it by trainning once more in the evening or at night. OK, not as much but simply using lightweights and warming down for about half an hour or so. I think this realy works for me 'muscle wise and ripping up' but i dont know if its bad for your muscles either. As iv heard too much trainning isnt good for your muscles. ....thanx for taking time to read my message,much help would be appreciated!

Otherwise, you could risk overtraining. On the other hand, if you are looking to lose weight and tone, then you could workout twice per day. You can also throw in a heavy cardio session followed by light weight training. -------------- **_Robert_**

Short duration active recovery provides superior performance in comparison to passive rest...... (but respect the lighter weights and more reps) If you feel good about it, then I don't seem any reason to stop. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....
