Is it healthy to workout twice a day?

[MizzArtFreak89]

I workout once a day, usually in the evening time. Usually I'll workout 4-6 days a week and have a rest day. I sometimes workout twice a day. I don't mean like over doing it like working out for hours because that isn't good for you. Like for example, I did a cardio workout earlier this afternoon. It's a 12 minute workout YouTube video. In a little while, I will be doing more cardio. I'll probably do the 40 minute one or the 1 hour one. I do eat healthy, but I do eat some junk food sometimes, not all the time. I know I need to lay off that but I don't drink pop a lot like I used too or buy too much candy like I used too either. What do y'all think about working out more than once a day or so?

It’s good to exercise but overtraining might build your tolerance to the point where exercise no longer boosts or shifts your metabolism. If you can handle one work out a day, that might be better for you. Muscle is more effective than cardio work outs.

[MizzArtFreak89]

Yeah you do have a point. I don't wanna over do it. Most of the time I'm fine with working out once a day. Twice a day is fine with me sometimes as long as I don't over do it.

Thank you

Eating food that is good for your gut bacteria also helps like Greek yogurt mixed with lemon juice. Do a small serving the first time as an experiment. Eating fermented vegetables is also beneficial but make sure it’s a good company and don’t eat too much cause too much can be just as bad as none at all.

[MizzArtFreak89]

Thank you. Oh yeah I like the Greek Yogurt. I may have to try it with lemon juice sometimes.

I follow a walking based exercise program on YouTube and that’s something the instructor is always saying: if you want to boost your metabolism, walk a mile before every meal. But again, this is only if you follow this walking program. Since you do cardio, I would ask my doctor, just to be safe. 😌

well you can never work out enough, you know what they say, excercise twice a day, keeps your body to date

[MizzArtFreak89]

True but the thing is, I don't wanna over do it.

[MementoMori777]

i was joking, no one says that and overdueing is possible, but that depends how long you work out for everytime you work out

[MizzArtFreak89]

okay thanks

[RHK36]

Yes and it sounds like you pace yourself. Good job 👍🏽

If you target different muscle groups, you can do it. But listen to your body. If you don't allow recovery, you will loose muscle mass instead of gaining it.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, but don't overdo things.

[MizzArtFreak89]

Yeah I would workout twice a day but not all the time. Most of the time I would workout once. If I workout twice, I'll probably do a 12-20 minute workout in the morning or a 15 minute workout in the afternoon/evening depending on which video I do. I don't over do it.

Yes, as long as you don't over do it and hurt yourself.
