how long to recover between workouts
Weight lifting may also impose heavier demands on your muscles, thus necessitating a full 48-hour recovery in between sessions. If you're new to lifting, you may find yourself quite sore after your first few sessions. In that case, you may even want to wait 72 hours between weight workouts. If you're doing a combined cardio/weight routine, then you will need to strategize to maximize the effectiveness of both modalities and avoid over-training.
