Does anyone do 2 a days I was thinging about trying it to help get over my plateau these past two weeks, help me get over the hurtle of weighing 190 and make my way into the 180s. Does anyone else do two a days, do you have any suggestions or ideas on how to start what to do? Whats your success story?

    Timely topic! I am starting two a day workouts tomorrow. No matter how much, how little, what type, timing, etc, I eat I cannot lose. Currently stuck at 160 and goal is 140. Has taken me a loooonnnngggg time to get here. Tomorrow I am going to start doing my insanity or heavy weights in the morn with a run in the evening. 6 days of 7 and see if I get any results. I am hoping it helps boost metabolism until it is dry enough here that I can bike back and fourth to work(10miles round trip) and then that will take over one workout. Good luck and remember to change up what you are doing!

    bump for feedback

    I've been thinking of adding a morning walk (20-30 mins just to get me going in the am) to my routine (current working out 4-5x week at night)

    ***** to get off this plateau. But my schedule is grueling in nursing school but if it were different I would definitely do it. A work out is a good way to get energy for ur day and give ur metabolism an good headstart for the day. It releases awesome feel good hormones but if u need more rest in the beginning don't be afraid to rest. Ur bodies may not be used to it n need sometime to adjust. Listen to ur body .Good luck girl u can do it

    I do but for different reasons...I go in the morning so I can do my own thing, be in my zone and not be bothered (I'm usually the only one there, LOL) and then I go in the evenings because my husband lacks motivation to go unless I say lets go. Usually evenings are just some weights, a little treadmill, biking and my mornings are more intense.

    Yes, 2 a days is the only way I can lose weight also...lately can't even get one a day in but anyway...

    Best if you do cardio only in the morning 25+ mins

    then cardio and weights for ur pm workout.

    Have been getting in my two a day! Feels so good, keeps my energy up but I am starved! Have to watch what I am eating or I would really blow my cal intake.

    I've been doing 2-a-days for about 3 years. Here's my current schedule.
    Monday AM P90x2 Chest and Back
    Monday noon Treadmill 4 miles
    Tues AM P90x2 Plyo
    Tues Noon Spin class
    Wed AM P90x2 Shoulders and Arms
    Wed Noon Treadmill 4 miles
    Thur AM P90x2 Core
    Thurs noon Spin Class
    Fri AM Treadmill 4 miles
    Fri Noon Body Pump Class - hi rep low weight long sets lifting to music
    Sat and Sunday - rest and chase kids all over the country dancing and playing soccer

    It has worked great for me except lately my weights been stuck right around 200 (btw, I'm a male). I actually started using mfp to help track my calorie intake.
