as some of you know i lost alot of weight recently but it has stopped so i was wondering if i should increase my workout to 7 days a week what i do now is run 3 miles a day 5 days a week and weightlift every other day. should i increase the running to 7 days a week?
 
nuh keep at it maybe up your distance or somthing, you need time to rest your muscles, your probably not loosing cause ur gaining muscle :) good luck
 
I would definatly recommend to take days off during the week. Your body needs time to rest. If you over do it you will increase your chances of injury. I know this because I used to run 7 days a week and I ended up getting a stress fracture. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that people participate in cardiorespiratory training 3-5 days/week for around 20-60 minutes. So I would say to up the intensity of your workouts and also add some variation. I do a lot of cross training. I start off on the elliptical, followed by running and then I finish with some biking. Cross training is more challenging for your body, plus works more muscle groups.
