Do you consider a day with 45+ minutes of cardio and weights/strength a “double” day or is this just how you normally operate?
I never really considered it too much. Not for me. Not anymore. Maybe a year ago it would have killed me, but now? Now it’s normal. Maybe I need to push harder to make myself feel like I want to die again?
I dunno… I guess I’m just looking for some outside insight.
- Double workout or no?
- Do you do it every time you workout or just a a couple of times per week?
- Do you lower intensity on a double workout day, or do you still do the same distance/time/reps/sets?
- Do you find your DOMS is worse or the same after a double workout?
- Do you prep for a double workout by murdering your water more than normal?
I guess I’m asking because I treat a double workout just like any other day. Some people are all “wooooo!!! kill it!!!!” and other people do the wonky twisted face with the lip-sneer like I’m insane. So… which is it for you?

That’s pretty usual for me…I would only consider a day a double workout day if I did two totally separate workouts

Brian Mckenzie’s site, Crossfit Endurance is BIG on the “double workout”. I am more of a “Effective” and “Effecient” stablity type person.

Nope, I think it’s a normal workout and something like that is good to do 2-3x/week (lifting first, then cardio in same “session”).

I normally do cardio and strength on one day. But strenght for just some body parts. The other day cardio and strength for other bodyparts.

this is normal for me - i tried to pair my cardio with weights at least 3 days/week, and cardio alone on the others.

I do 10 minutes of cardio and lift, I rarely do 45 min of straight cardio. I think you are dedicated, go hard girl :)
