should you do doubles?


Theres a great number of people that are finally jumping on the road to health and fitness, and tons are getting great results, and changing there lives! i am so happy to see the determination people have, it really is an inspiring thing and it helps push me to the next level. and to keep getting better.


now with all that being said i see so many people posting on Facebook that they are doing doubles, which means they would do two workouts a day, and im not counting abs, i actually mean 2 hour long workouts. all i have to say is why??? i see someone posting that they just did Max Interval Circuit then later in the same day i see they did Shoulders and Arms from P90X! that is just insane and not the good type of insane. or the people i see doing yoga then later they are doing an intense routine! if you look at the people who have the best results from these workout programs you will notice one thing, they didn't do doubles! and that includes myself i have never done doubles, i workout 1 hour to one and a half hours a day, sometimes a bit more. but i never workout more than 2 hours thats just wrong for one, whats the point of working out all the time if you never get out to show your results! and also put your fitness to the test in the real world! one thing i love doing besides workout out is climbing trees, it really shows me my true strength and what i have achieved by using these programs. get out in the world and use your fitness people it's called functional life fitness, and thats the type of fitness you should be working towards!


now let me explain why doubles do no good. first off you think the more you workout the stronger your gonna get right? Wrong your body only grows during recovery that is why it's so important to have recovery/ yoga days. second factor is your in this for the long term, that means if you do doubles and hurt yourself your not gonna be able to workout as hard and your gonna get weaker. your way better off with avoiding doubles so you work the body but then give it enough time to recover. what i'm trying to say is an hour a day is all you need anymore is just over kill. even the top trainers say no! to doubles, tony has stated in an interview that "doing doubles is just dumb, your eventually gonna get tired of doing them, you should look forward to working out, and thats not gonna be possible to keep if you continue doubles." and Shaun T says doing doubles is just an injury waiting to happen! another thing about doing doubles, you shouldn't be able to do doubles! if you can do doubles you are not pushing hard enough in the first workout! i see some people posting they are doing asylum workouts on the same day as a p90x workout! that means that you are not pushing hard enough! if you do an asylum workout that should be the only workout you need to do that day.


now since i have explained why doing doubles is not good for you. i hope you realize it and decide to just bring it hard for only one workout a day, remember as Tony Says "it's about getting results! not getting Hurt!"
