    I love working out twice a day ( when I can )....I do mostly cardio, a little weight lifting...Then at night it's the opposite. Also it's quiet in the mornings at the gym, plus less crowded.

    Depends on how you define "work out"

    I do my "serious" work out over the noon hour at the gym.

    But after work most evenings I'm taking my dogs on a walk; going for a leisurely bike ride; working in my yard, etc.

    No I don't generally consider the latter "workouts" - but they do burn more calories than just sitting in front of the computer on MFP forums :)

    This is how it works for me. I frequently walk more than once a day but the first walk (or lately, run) is my "serious" one the other(s) are just for the heck of it, and I track them so that I have record that I DID it, but I log it manually as 1 calorie so that I'm not getting a pile of extra calories to eat for it (do note though that I use the TDEE method for my intake goal and log ALL my exercise as 1 calorie!)

    yeah instead of two workouts - unless you have a deadline - I recommend working out then doing an activity that you enjoy that is active.

    ^this is the stuff that makes me really like and get a ton out of MFP

    I have been thinking about doing the same thing. I already do about 30/40 minutes of cardio and 20/30 minutes of strength training in the morning before class, and I am thinking about stopping by and doing an extra 30 minutes of cardio in the evening. I think the best way to approach is to try a trial and error for about a week, and just see how your body responds.

    yeah, your approach is awesome. Keeping an active life style is way more effective
