A buddy of mine and I have been working out every day for about 6 months now. Recently, we decided to just go endorphine crazy and work out twice per day - swim every morning at 7 AM, and then do a normal workout at night (like stepper, running, sprints, race eachother on stairs, etc.). I feel great and I'm getting in really good shape... and it's even helping me drink less, because I can't really work out that much and drink alcohol. But is it safe?

Working out every day isn't safe as far as I know the muscle groups need recreational time, that's why body builders make exercise plans and leave few days for regeneration before exerting the same muscle again.
As for alcohol you should be fine if your blood alcohol content level doesn't rise above 0.05% it can be even considered healthy (can check with this BAC calculator), helps prevention of some cardio vascular infections if I'm not mistaken

Bodybuilders don't work based on science. Although it typically takes 7-9 days for muscles to completely recover from strenuous exercise, you can continue to work out while it's healing. If you're not too sore to workout, you're typically fine. Putting the tension on the healing muscle tissue actually improves the passive strength of your connective tissue, which is essential to getting stronger. The best athletes in the world exercise every day - sprinters, Olympic weightlifters, wrestlers, MMA fighters. It's part of getting stronger. The advice bodybuilders give is based on research, but taken out of context.

OP - you can do this, but you need to make sure you're taking care of your body. Since you're working out so much, you need to be stretching, foam rolling, etc just as much to maintain good muscle mechanics and muscle length. Many people can't handle doing two-a-days because eventually they get overuse injuries. These overuse injuries can be limited by taking care of yourself. In addition to foam rolling, stretching, warm-ups, cool-downs, you want to hone your diet in a bit more (good recovery foods - lean meats, leafy greens, fibrous carbs) and may want to supplement things like fish oil to keep inflammation down.

Thanks SC That makes sense.

It's a good balance if I'm swimming in the morning and doing cardio at night right? And lifting only once every 2-3 days?

It depends on the intensity of the swimming, the cardio, and the lifting. Weightlifting tends to be a bit more strenuous on musculature. As long as you feel ok (no pain, soreness is minimal, etc), you should be good to go. If you start to feel run down, sore all the time, or pain in any area, you should take a few days to a week off. Overtraining can happen quickly when you do two-a-days.

I agree with SC. When people say you're suppose to give your muscles time to rest, they are only talking about weight lifting. Doing cardio every day or even twice a day increases blood flow and actually helps your muscles heal and build faster.


Edit: Michael Phelps swims twice a day, does weights 3 times a week, and eats a 12,000 calorie daily diet.

Damn, that's a lot of calories.
