Muscle Building Questions - Intense Training & Muscle Recovery Periods

fitness-advice Question:
I do cardio 6 days a week, I do yoga 3 days a week and toning/strength exercises 3 days a week. I understand that your muscles need to rest between workouts? Is it ok to alternate yoga and strength training?

fitness-advice Answer:
Yes, I think its fine to alternate yoga and strength training during the week. The biggest factor you should focus on really how you feel. If you're feeling tired and burned out, take a few days off from training and relax to let your body recover. You really want to avoid overtraining since at a certain level of intense training it will work against you if you're body is in a continual state of "breaking down" and is always trying to recover. Just make sure to get enough rest and you should be fine (listen to your body).
