Question Hi Rich,I first started working out a couple of months ago and I do about 2 1/2 hours a day 4/5 days a week,I do the cv and weights on the same day,is it best to seperate these and do on alternate days?
Answer Hi Dave. What are you doing for 2.5 hours? My God. You're not a professional athlete, are you? A well designed strength program should be made up of workouts that last no longer than 60-75 minutes, including warm up. If your cardio and strength routines are being done on the same day and it is taking you 2.5 hours to complete both, I would not suggest doing them on the same day.
