STS and another workout in 1 week

[TG007]

Hi Cathe,

A trainer at a gym told me I should hit each muscle group twice in a week. I'm doing STS Mesocycle 2 right now. She suggested that for example, I do all 3 DVDs or 3 muscle groups on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Then may be do cardio on Thursday and total body on Friday or upper body on Thursday and do lower body on Friday.

I also should do cardio at lunch time (I eat at my desk) Monday - Friday.

Do you think this is exessive? Is it going to do me any good or harm to workout like this? I'd love to be toned by the end of the year

Please advise.
Thanks,
TG

Hi TG! I personally feel that STS as is, along with 3 to 5 cardio sessions, and a very clean diet are plenty. If you would like to make add ons as preferred, I'd like to see you do one at a time and gradually as to give it a chance to work before adding any more. You certainly don't want to crowd your muscle recovery days. Have fun and work hard
