Two days in a row

CristalBelle Posts: 1,389 Joined: 2003/06/27	2004/05/14, 03:17 PM Is it absolutely wrong to lift 2 days in a row?? I have to get another day in before tomorrow, so that means today, but I lifted yesterday. I won't die or anything right?:big_smile:

It takes about 48 hours for a most muscles to recuperate completely, so training the same muscle two days in a row could be overdoing it and set you up for overtraining or injury, but the actual act of lifting two days in a row is fine. Now if you are doing full body workouts, you might do a lighter workout, yoga, or some isometric exercises. Be creative. There is usually something you can do if you want to. Even doing circuit training at a quicker pace might be ok, as it will take some of the emphasis off of strength moves and place it on cardio. Anyway, there is two cents for you bank...deposit it quick before it depreciates.
