Frustrating...

OK. For some reason I have to repeat this speech over and over again, and I'm going to put it here and copy and paste the link from now on because this is getting to be ridiculous...


For those of you who are under the impression that if you do several workouts in a day because you think you'll get to your weight loss goal faster, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but, you're incorrect in your thinking. Yeah, theoretically more workouts = more calories burned = weight loss seems to make sense, but you're going the wrong way in your logic. Let me steer you in the right direction.

"But if I do a P90X workout in the morning and then an Insanity workout in the evening I'll be SUPER ripped in half the time!" Why not just do one or the other? Why both? There is absolutely NOW WAY your body can recover from that. Both of those programs are very demanding on your body and are stand alone programs. Your muscles need to restore glycogen. If you keep using it up, they can't restore it, and then you're not really getting anywhere because your muscles are drained of their fuel. Also, there's the HUGE risk of overtraining and injury. Why risk it? Do one program, move on to the next, and then do a hybrid if you so choose.


The End.
