    I think it depends what you plan to do and why?

    If you want to work out more purely so you will burn more calories and lose weight more quickly - I'd think again. Exercising excessively isn't something that you are likely to be able to keep up and you run the risk of injury.

    If you are training for a specific event and you have a program that includes this much exercise, or if you are already fit and this is your job - well maybe, but you still need to be cautious.

    If you are taking a new class or doing something fun and mixing up more strenuous with less strenuous exercise you can probably get away with it.

    As always, I don't think there is one "right" answer - but over exercising can be just as detrimental to your body as underrating if you aren't careful.

    Well in the late morning I go to the track and walk for 2 miles. Then at about 7:30PM I go to the gym.

    Im starting 2 a days too! I plan on cardio during the day and weight training after dinner. I used to train 3 day for wrestling. 2 a day is not going to kill you but dont push yourself to injury.

    dont forget to eat enough and stretch!

    good luck!
