Question by Lee: Weight lifting twice a day?
Hi. I am a female who has just added weights into my exercise routine. When I go to the gym I do weights first then I’ll do some kind of cardio for 20-30minutes. I really was/am so weak, so when I go to do the weights I give it my all and it takes a lot out of me. However, after the cardio I feel more energetic and kinda want to go try the weight machines again. My question is, is that OK to do?

I can’t see why it would be. it sounds like a drawn out circuit in a way. Doing a handful of different movements mixed in with cardio routines is the training method of a lot of athletes. If you feel more energized after your cardio however, why not warm up with your cardio routine and hit the weights with even more energy. The cardio routine will get the blood pumping to your muscles so that when you hit the weights your body is already in a working state and prepared for a heavier load. Hope this helps and good luck in the gym.
