Hey all,
I have a question about how much leg work I should be doing in the gym. I currently ride three days a week and then do a full body weight training program at the gym the other three days with one rest day (I am also doing 20 min of cardio on the days I lift). On the three days at the gym I do at least one set of either squats, leg press or lunges... If I am riding a lot and also doing some leg training at the gym is there a possibility of over training my legs and burning out? (I know riding three days a week may not seem like a lot to some.)
I have been lifting for a few years now but would like to start riding more. So guess I might need to change my exercise program to fit.
Right now I feel pretty good... Is it something I just need to feel as I go? Any recommendations or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
