Working out twice a day....

[dead in 09]

I just started working second shift (2-10) and would love to get a work out in before work, then one when I leave work.

Anybody do this? Whats your routine? Do you work 4 muscle groups a day?

Im doing it.

But I do not lift twice a day.

Weights in AM before work, cardio in PM after work.

 

[dead in 09]

so how long are you actually at the gym per day?

That would be too broad a question...do you u want to know the actual hours I budget per day for working out or do you want to know the actual hours I am doingactual physical activity?

I get up every morning at 5:30. I lift for about 30-35 mins 4-5 days per week.
I then do cardio at night at 5:30 for about 35 mins per session. 4-5 days per week.

A lot of additional time is added for travel time, warming up, stretching out, etc. Depending on what your goals are I probably see no need for you to actuallylift twice per day unless you are really strapped for time during the week (i.e. you can only lift 2 days a week or something).

Same here. At the gym at 6am lift until 7am then back after work around 5:30pm and do my cardio until about 6:15pm or so.

Used to, but I have no need to do so anymore. If anything I'll get my workout in at the gym and do some sort of recreational exercise like sports orhiking, or something like that.

twice a day? thats OD, unless you're training for something and eating 5000+ calories a day.

Dude you are over training. Doing that will cause you to regress rather than progress. Working out high intensity for 45 minutes to an hour will be moreeffective.

I need to start doing this again.
