So is it ok to weight train every day (M-F that is) if we don't do a muscle group twice in a row? I like to do upper body one day and lower body the next day, and switch on and off. Unfortunatly weight training is kind of boring for me, and doing smaller sessions more often allows me to spend less time doing it. I like the benifits, but I've tried to do major lifting sessions and I tend to drift after 20 minutes......
Also, I have been doing my weights first and then a cardio session (30-40 minutes), as I read somewhere that doing weights first allows you to use more of your energy for building muscle and also that it causes your body to burn more fat during the cardio session. Is this bogus? It makes sense that doing cardio first would drain your energy that you need to properly tire your muscles during strength training.
Any info would be great
Thanks, Gracie
