Hi everyone!
I have a question for which I haven't been able to find a clear answer in the online world so far.
I have read on the topic of strength training and rest between sessions, so I now understand I should leave at least 24/48 hours of rest between work-outs. My question is, if I've had an intense lower-body workout, is it ok to do cardio the next day, or will it affect muscle development negatively? I haven't been able to find too much info related to that, so I would be thankful for anyone more experienced or knowledgeable who could shed some light.
So, is it ok to do cardio (running/elliptical trainer) the next day after a lower-body work-out (considering I am not in pain, but my muscles do feel a bit stiff)? Would this hinder my efforts of toning up and affect the recovery of my lower body muscles?
Thanks!
