Does anyone do cardio twice daily? I'm wondering if it will boost my metabolism - or just plain wear me out....ha ha. Right now I'm targeting burning 500 calories in the morning....wondering if I should pick up weights or yoga in the evening????

    I do circuit training or go for a run every morning but one. In the afternoon, I take my dog for a brisk walk - 20 to 30 minutes. I feel like it gives another boost to my metabolism before dinner, so as long as you don't push yourself too hard it should work.

    Thanks for the post - yea, that's what I'm hoping - a little metabolism boost. I sit all day at my computer .....also love the "me time" with my ipod and music ;)

    once a day is plenty.

    maybe just walk for the 2nd time, theres really no benefit to running yourself into the ground.

    I walk for 30 minutes twice a day (about 3 miles) on my commute to and from work. It gives me some pep in the morning and helps me relax after a stressful day at the office, so I think it's super beneficial at least for me.

    I do two work-outs a day. In a perfect world I would do it all at once but due to my crazy work hours I often have to split it up. On the days I do work on in the morning and evening- I really look forward to my evening workout- one last chance to rid myself of any nasty foods I didn't shake off during the day and also a great way to relax. :)
