Caz Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 No, you should give yourself a least 2 (separate) days off to let your body recover. Good luck for the programme :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azatol Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Running like any other form of strength training, builds muscle but muscle doesn't build when you exercise. When you run you are actually tearing muscle fibre in your hamstrings, quads (I think ) and calves. Over the next 48 hours, that muscle rebuilds and repairs itself and when it does so, it rebuilds stronger than it was. So when you run today, you actually grow that strength tomorrow. Anytime you don't give yourself a rest day, you're tearing muscle fibre that hasn't healed yet and thus nullifing the lions share of the previous days workout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Nice advice Caz and Azatol, I like to do cardio every other day. Your body needs to rest in between. I like to crosstrain with weights, bike, etc.... If you do the same thing everyday your body gets used to it and if you train by doing something different your body says, oh yeah, Thanks and you will lose more weight and build strength. Good luck.
