    I pretty much do that every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday...I probably wouldn't recommend doing it every day depending on your level of intensity...and you should definitely be working in a rest day or two...

    I'd also suggest making sure you're feeding yourself properly for that activity...otherwise, bonk. most over-train issues aren't actually a matter of over-training but rather underfeeding for that level of activity.

    I do that Sun, Mon, Tues, Thurs and sometimes Friday. I walk 6 miles in the morning and weight lift in the evening.

    See how you go. Make sure you're eating enough and take rest days. I train twice a day about three times a week, but I built up to my current level of intensity.

    It's fine, but do remeber to listen to your body and see how you cope. I prefer to fuel workouts, but tbh 1h and 30mins are short enough for it to become personal preference.

    I do this all the time. 45 to 50 minutes cardio in morning then I lift at lunch. At my age I'm not lifting super heavy weights just trying to keep my muscle mass and tone. I normally work out everyday so I rotate my lifting exercises so I do each every other day.

    I wouldn't, just because I don't feel the need for the goals that I have, but there's no harm in it if you're fuelling properly.

    There is no difference from breaking out your workout into two sessions a day. It is the same as me spending 2 hours at the gym straight and doing my cardio and strength all in one go.

    Why would this be a problem as long as you feel okay?

    Actually I have read that there is a little slight difference if breaking up 2 hours into 2 one hour workouts.

    I do that everyday - morning gym, afternoon skipping/pullups, evening football.

    Noy quite because they have the recovery time inbetween, which makes a difference.

    I do it nearly everyday. Just mix up your workouts and try to avoid overworking your muscles. Don't want to be so fatigued at the end of the week. If you're not use to working out a lot, start out light, then work your way up. Also, don't calorie restrict yourself, otherwise all that hard work will not pay off.
