Is going to the gym twice a day over doing it?

[Anonymous]

I started working out about 3 months ago (October 22) when I realized that I weighed 206 lbs. As of yesterday I weigh 182.4 and don't feel like I'm losing weight as fast as I would like to be. I go to the gym for 1 hour every day but since I have a lot of free time this semester I wanted to go the gym 2X a day, once at noon-ish and then again at about 9-ish. Is this over doing it?

As you may or may not know, muscles weight more than fat. You said you felt like your weren't losing weight well that's why! You are gaining muscles! The scale isn't always right... I don't think you are over doing it, I workout at school and then workout with my team later on the same day. Keep going girl! You can do this! :)

It's totally fine to do that especially if you're doing lots of cardio for weight loss. I don't recommend weightlifting twice a day as a beginner because you won't be giving each area of the body enough rest time. Good luck with your goals!

How many hours a day do you train?
I train 6 hours every day, from Sunday to Friday . (In my house)

A total of about 4 hours everyday Monday- Sunday

Not bad if you rest properly.

Depends on what you're doing. If it's cardio based stuff, I wouldn't be concerned. Exercising cardio multiple times a day never hurt anyone.

If it's weightlifting, don't do two-adays. You'll end up hurting your results.

I usually only use the elliptical and the treadmill, then I do some weights but not that much

No thats not over doing it if you have the spare time.
You will get super fit really fast if you eat right as well.

i do 2 hours a day... no its not overdoing... its all about enjoying what your doing. as long as you do then there is not problem.

As long as u work out in different ways, and work out different parts of the body... I don't see a problem with two-a-days. :-P

Yeah switch up your routine.. Give your body time to recover

This will aide in quicker weight loss

It can become quite the obsession and too much of a good thing is bad. So make sure your eating right awell and drinking lots of water :)

[Asker]

I totally agree about the obsession part! I'm usually thinking about the gym like 24/7 lol

if you can handle it, you're fine! But if you are overdoing yourself and feeling bad afterward then I would take it down a notch. Do what feels right for yourself.

I think you'll be fine.
