Staying Motivated to Lose Weight
Recommended Answer:
In your situation you need to do upper body one day, lower the next. You should never lift twice in the same day but you can do cardio during the evening visit.
Muscle needs time to rest, repair, and build new tissue. Current recommendation is 48 hours rest per muscle group.
Starting your workouts at the same time daily gives your body the maximum amount of time available to rest and rebuild between sessions. Avoid the Friday night workout then again Saturday morning. Not enough rest time.
Whether you are working out to lose weight, build muscle, or just stay in shape the body needs rest.
The best program current knowledge recommends is to work your upper body one day and your core and lower body the next day. Try and do exercises or lifts that target whole muscle groups.
This works each group every other day. Try and get 30 minutes of cardio in addition to muscle exercising each day.
I do my cardio first to get warmed up and lift with fast reps with short rest to keep the heart rate accelerated. My goal is maintaining and losing a few pounds.
On you other days you can run or ride? Take one full day of rest per week with maybe a brisk walk, ride, or short run to stretch.
Good luck.
- If your used to it then you should be fine
- Depends on why you go. If it''s to chat up the concession girl or hang out in the lockeroom, then keep it to once a day. If it''s to pump serious iron, stay in the gym all day.
- Yes it is
Why rush
The body need time to recover
You''ll burn yourself out
