Help Cathe!!!

[fit chick]

Hey Everybody! I have been working workout for about 3 years. I do 2 hours of cardio and a hour of weights. Do you think that is to much? Am I over training? I am 19 years old, my weight is 104, and I am 5'2. Please help anybody!!!


P.S I love the new videos!!!!

How often?

Are you doing the 2 hours of cardio and 1 hour of weights every single day, or just a few times a week?

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Nov-02-00 AT 11:58AM (Est)[/font][p]Hi! If you are doing this amount of exercise per week, then no, you are not overtraining. If you are doing this amount per day, then yes, I would have to say you are overtraining.

You'll be happy to know that you do not need to do so much to keep fit. I recommend cutting back to FIVE cardio workouts a week(45 to 60 minutes per session), ONE interval workout per week (12 minute warm up plus 45 minutes worth of intervals, cool down and then stretch), and TWO total body strength workouts per week.

Have fun and enjoy your extra free time!

Hi, I believe Cathe meant cutting back to FIVE cardio workouts per week.

Thanks for pointing that out Lourdy. Yes, I definitely meant per WEEK. I already made the correction in my post. Thanks again!
