Training with cardio twice a day.
I was wondering what you all thought about this. I started this week training twice a day. I am doing 40 minutes of cardio in the morning and then 40 in the evenings. I also do my normal weight routine in the evenings on Monday, Wed, Fri. However, when i do weights i only do 20 minutes of cardio.
I made a bet with my dad to see who could lean up the most before the next time i see him. Probably March some time.
My main worries are the fatigue in my legs. I alternate cardio machines so im not doing the same thing every time. Is there any thing i could take to help with the recovery after the workouts.
Any comments would be apprecitated. Thanks y'all.HickeyNC
You get what you put in.

I hope that "leaning up" means "lose all the weight you can, even muscle .." .. 'cause that's exactly what you're doing.
the best way to "lean up" is to do moderate cardio (2-3 times a week for 40 mins) and watch your "bad" food intake. This way you'll "lean up" the good way (by getting more muscle and losing unwanted fat).
It's better to look a little muscular and sharper than totally flat and washed out from all that cardio.
But again, if your bet is all about scales, by all means, go ahead, kill yourself on the cardio."When the going gets though,
the Tough get Duct-tape!"

40mins cardio... is that too much??? or just what one should do.. also is that 40 mins at a high heart rate ??? or just a fat burning heart rate??? i try to get my heart rate to about 165-170 when i do a cardio and i try to keep it at least for 20-25mins.... but i don't do the 2 times a day thing.. i think thats just overkill

catabolic as in burning/using muscle for fuel after using up any fuel reserve's.......BUT,your body uses muscle as a last resort,it uses body fat for fuel too.hence the ripped look.Originally posted by arbntmare
