I exercise twice a day, is it safe?

Unless you have a medical condition which can be exacerbated through exercise, I'd say walking for 60 mins, and jogging for 20 mins per day is perfectly safe.

i believe when people say too much training is bad for you they are refering to time in anerobic zones, your regime is primarily low resitance low effort and is simply extending your daily "normal" activities slightly.

most people walk to work, say 20 mins each way & or run for the bus... i dont see those people looking unfit or lethargic..

you`ll know if you are doing too much as you wont be able to hit your max effort and will constantly feel drained - much like you do when you do not train.

I exercise up to twice a day some days. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I've been doing it for a few months now. had no issues or complaints. Except when I sprained my knee at netball but that was a stupidity injury not a "proper" injury.

On days I play netball I still do a workout in the morning at the gym. And on mondays and saturdays I do one in the morning and one in the afternoon/early evening.


I do take warm up and cool down very seriously although because I don't want to injure myself.

I do C25K in the morning it wakes me up and am now sad if i miss one day. I do 30 DS (today's the last day I will start Tapout soon) after i come home from work i try to walk during lunch and am usually fine. i dont think you'd have any proble unless you skip rest which i feel can be a leisure walk if not working out makes you edgy

My weekdays are from 0830 I walk to school and it takes me 30 min.
Then I will get on the elliptical for an hour. Then do weights at the gym at school.
Then I will walk home, another 30 min, later that night after dinner, I will go for a 2 hour walk around the block.

If i catch a break, I got some 30 day shred I will throw in there to do a weight and arobic training together.

People thinks that is too much but I can do it. I use to walk with a dog and I pooped him out. My friend is 5'3 and 160lbs and he couldn't keep up with my endurance. I am 5''10 and 255lbs....

I think that I need to do it cause I want to loose the weight plus to be honest, I dont want to give up some foods so I work hard to eat them.

thats a trooper

and if we all think back to cave men, they used to hunt for each meal! we all forget where the human body has come from

abdulla - my secret, if you want to call it that was to use more energy than i consumed. i was never a massive eater, always skipping breakfast, having sugars and carbs for quick fixes in work (crisps [chips in american] & chocloate) and eating processed foods in the evening.

i started eating breakfast, taking home made sanwiches to work and cut out any process foods, basically any meats that have been through a machine.

oh and i started using some of the energy the foods i now consume give me... ive gone from being out of breath walking up the stairs to training for an olymic distance triathlon.

ive not lost weight now for four months despite training everyday, why? because i have been training at the wrong intencity to loose (too high) however my endurance has developed ultra quick.. if you want to loose weight the key is not to drip with sweat only mildly perspire

Make sure you stretch out after your exercises and I'd guess you will be fine.

@sarahqt2012 : LOL! Thanks.
@kmorganlfc: Thanks
@Sasha198: I think i'll start with the sprints in the middle of my journey because i'm very very heavy to do sprints, i'll just walk and jog until i loose at least 10kg's and then i'll race you :P
@keith_lemon: I totally agree with you, btw you need to to teach me how you lost 41Kg !! WOW )

yes you are right to avoid sprints just yet. I started when I could run for about an hour - at this stage I think my muscles were strong enough. If you go to soon you could pull something which would set you back. for me its best to start off your running career slowly and then build up gradual. This time next year you will be most probably running the same distance as if you went at it like a bull in a china shop and didn't injure yourself - the problem with the latter though is that you may well hurt yourself which will put you back. If you are not already doing so,. try and frame it so this is for the rest of your life not just the next 6 months to put things into perspective. Sounds like you are thinking straight at the moment though which is good.

a quick simple chance to your diet will sort you out, especially with your countries climate... good luck with your journey
