I've been doing two-a-day workouts since January. A walk/jog in the morning and a dvd at night. This week I added a more moderate walk on my lunch hour. So I guess I'm doing three-a-days. ;-> In my opinion some of the concern about two-a-days is misplaced.

Unless I misunderstand you, you are not talking about doing the kind of super intensive workouts that elite athletes do to get ready for their sports season. I took you to mean instead of doing your usual 30-60 minute you will do two.

People who have highly physical jobs continue to work every day for 8 or more hours and keep it up for years and years. I don't think taking two walks per day and a 30-45 minute dvd are going to do me in!

Totally agree with you. Could not have said it better. Only you can decide what's right for you. Listen to your body. I've slowly introduced two a day into my routine. I'm currently doing it 3x /wk now. Just have to challenge, myself to do 5 now.

When I was in shape before I got sick. I did 2 a day for a long time without any problems or injuries.

Yeah I totally agree. Very well put!!! I am starting on March 21st and I cannot wait. Last summer I worked out moderately hard and got where I wanted to be. And so I know what my body and mind can handle. Yes I am just going to do workout twice a day. Its not really like 3 hour worksouts twice a day. Like Mon, Wed, Friday I will do Cardio morning and weightraining with a little mroe cardio adn then Tue, Thur, Fri, Sat. I will do more cardio those days. Get my heart in shape and my lungs...Now of couse all of this is give and take all depending of course on different variables but this is my plan ) i cant wait to keep in touch with you guys to help motivate me to keep pushing )

I'm in! I really need to start training for a 10k and want to strength train as well. Spring is the perfect time to start and this will be great motivation to get me up in the mornings! Friend me if I don't friend you first.

Okay very cool. I will send you message or soemthing probably on sunday march 20th or another post and let everyoen know I posted a post ) cant wait!

HLRoberts1987

I would like to join this challenge also. I can probably to 2 a day for 4 days a week, that is probably the most my schedule will allow.

Okay that will work its will just be nice to have other people who are going through the same things as me...no matter how many days it is. Awesome I'll add you as a friend and talk to you on march 20th

I am going to start March 21st and if you look at my above post/reply I am going to do to it 6days a week and probably rest on sunday. Its usually my 'lazy day' might do some light stretching that day but for the most part its rest rest rest that day.

I am most def ready to start. If I wasnt going out of the country this week for spring break I would be starting this monday buuuuuut it just didnt workout that way so its the 21st )

HLRoberts1987

add me I also had been thinking about doing two a day, Sometimes a couple hours after my intense workout I'm ready for a little more of something. I'm willing to do 2 a day for 5 days starting n march 21. please sent me a reminder so I can post my personal goals

Okay I most deff will do... ) talk to you in a week )

I'm in! I'm a full time student, work 25+ hrs a week and am an active member of my sorority.. but I think I can make it work. I'm starting turbofire today and also want to start training for some 5ks and incorporate some weight training.

tsosbe - That is how I am I work full time go to school and will have to make time to workout between studying....I know I can do it ) and so can you just have to figure out a shedule and stick to it :oi)

you might have me convinced I'm a full time student taking 15 hours a week, and working 20+ hours a week. Let me think about it. I'm not sure 7 days a week would work, maybe 5? Thats 2 showers a day haha

You can for sure do this! I work full time, go to school full time on the weekends and have two kids. If I can do two a days anyone can! I just got Jillian Michael's ripped in 30 dvd for the mornings and am doing an advanced 5k training in the evenings. That's 30 mins in the morning and about an hour in the evening. Totally doable! Friend me if you want more support.

This sounds like a great idea!!! I have not been motivated to exercise even once a day. I am going to try to attempt this. It shouldn't be hard to do. My only question to you is, how long should each session be? I think your cardio/strength training should work for me. I will do the cardio in the morning and the strength training at night. Vice versa the next day and so on. I will alternate sessions each day. Looking foward to starting. I will weigh in before I start the week and weigh in after the week and let you know how it went. Good Luck to you and have fun.

Well like my plan is

mon/wed/fri - cardio am/cardio pm
tue/thur/sat - Cardio am/ strength training pm

will change up to what I see fit or what I want to do but that is what I am going by. you can do however you are able to. For me I am having to wake up at 5:00 workout go to work workout again after work and then go to class at night. Its a FULL day all week but the results will be worth it. My workouts usually last about 45min-hour but you c an do whatever you see fit. its all acording to what you want to do. There is another thread on the same forum (fitness and exercise) that everyone is posting on if you want to post on that post people are very supportive )

I am so in! I've been wanting a challange and a little extra motivation and for me that comes in the form of accountability! Some days I may combine 2 shorts into 1 long, today for instance since I just found this thread:) Overall, I am thinking one workout in the gym and the other at home with a video or walk, jog, or bike ride in this beautiful Spring weather! What a perfect time to get moving! Thanks for the challange.

HLRoberts - Thanks! I too get up super early to get a workout in. Problem is lately I've been slacking off. I really need a challenge since I'm doing this on my own. I saw a couple other posts and think I can figure out a routine. I also walk at lunch since that's about my only "alone" time with my little ones. I look forward to this!
