Two days in a row

I was wondering if it is possible to do the Stronglifts program on two consecutive days? I have been doing it on Monday and Wednesday because I attend Zumba classes on Thursday and Friday that I don't want to give up. It's not really possible with my schedule to go to the gym on Saturday or Sunday. I would like to incorporate the 3rd lifting day but the only day I could do that is on Tuesday. I once tried to do Zumba and Stronglifts on the same day and felt like I was going to die the next day.

    It's not recommended. You need rest days between your workouts for recovery.

    That's what I figured. I really like the Zumba classes so until I can get to the gym on Saturdays I will stick with 2 days a week.
