Overdoing it? Anonymous
Hey /fit/, I've come for your advice.

I'm doing cardio (running 6 miles) 5 times a week. Monday through Thursday then on Saturday. Fridays and Sundays are rest days. Lately though, I've been going to the gym after work. Only Mondays through Thursday, though. Not on Saturday, that would be crazy. So my day would look like this:
4:00AM wake up, get ready and head to the gym
4:30-5:30AM running (sweating buckets included)
6:00AM - 5:00PM work
5:30PM gym again

The second time around, I take it easy. 4 or 5 miles on a bike and 3 miles running/jogging. Is this a good idea? Am I doing way too much? Halp me /fit/. Pic unrelated, of course.

What about resistance exercises?

Right now I'm only doing cardio to lose weight. I've lost 50 pounds so far from running but I also do leg lifts and dips (not dips recently though since my shoulder is messed up right now). I'm down to 202 pounds and my target is 168 - 170, around there before I start strength training and the like. I do a hundred leg lifts a day and usually 30 wide-bar dips.

Start boxing = lose lots of weight fast.

Is it better to run 5 miles on a flat surface very fast, or to jog 2 miles up a moderately steep hill?

I would like to take up boxing but I'm not in a huge hurry to lose weight. So I don't even know why I'm going to the gym a second time in the day but I really have nothing better to do. I've set a pretty impossible goal (lose 12 pounds by July) but if I'm down 12 pounds in July, that's just as good. Tryin' to keep myself motivated as I almost fell off the /fit/ wagon this past week. ALMOST! But yeah, back to the original question. Am I doing too much?

OP here; why not run 5 miles up a moderately steep hill? No hills big enough where you live?
