    YES! as long as you rest, drink water, eat right and take care of your other priorities. PRO sports figures do it all the time.

    Many sites say it is actually good to do 2 shorter work outs, just watch the calorie ratio so that you are not too low for your net calorie intake.

    Sure, there is nothing wrong with that alot of times I get up early in the morning and run about 3-4 miles, and then I go the gym later on a workout.. I havent experienced anything wrong with this regiment just make sure you allow your body to rest at least two days out of the week so if you are going to workout Mon-fri rest on sat and sun. I hope this helps!!!!

    If you do decide to do that make sure to take Saturday and Sunday off. Also, I would suggest you make the evening workout a cardio workout and your morning one a strength training workout. This will give you the strength you need in the morning and enough time to recoup. However, be really careful because if you overdo it you risk injuring yourself. If your body hurts go much, listen to it and take a break. How long were you planning on working out each session?

    yes. In my running mags, running twice a day are called doubles and it increases your stamina and strengthens your cardiovascular system

    In the case that you are only doing cardio each time, it's not a problem.

    I do a P90X workout daily and often I will also do Taekwondo, biking, running or another workout of some sort. I haven't died yet. With P90X I think I came close but nope, I survived!

    Yes. As long as you refuel and rest for a few. I usually exercise an hour and a half card/weight training followed by jogging, five days a week.
