Does it make sense to run a Gymday-Cardio-Gymday-Cardio and so on routine without real restdays? My Cardio is pretty light i just grab a backpack put a 10kg weight in it and go hike for an hour or two in the forest. Not having any sleeping problems or feeling overworked desu but i was wondering if it would make more sense to add a restday once a week or so for better gains
Depends on what are you aiming in terms of lifting. If it’s just some endurance or getting “toned” that wouldn’t be a problem. But if wanna get jacked or strong even that “light backpacking” it’s gonna tax you eventually.
I'd look into hybrid training if that's the route you want to take. However, for aesthetics or strength, simply doing lower-intensity cardio every day alongside a regular program should be sufficient to cover work capacity and general health.

>>74785236A lot of this hinges on what your workouts out are like. 3.5/week (every other day) is a bit high for fullbody frequency if you're not a novice. I think 2 a week either as fullbodies, or whatever split is about optimal if you can actually get the work you need in those days. You need "rest days" as much as just less lifting days.
