Answer 1

you ca do as many push ups curl ups etc, but don,t do to much weight if you cant handle it because u don't want to strain a muscle

Answer 2

It sounds like your trying to save up for winter...and it doesn't really work that way.

You should split it up with a day of rest between workouts.  Weight train Mon-Wed-Fri.  Then do Cardio Tue-Thur...and rest on weekends.  

If you work your butt off, but then rest for 6 days all your effort will go down the toilet.  :(

Good luck!

Answer 3

6 days is too much rest. When I trained competitively, we worked the upper body Mon. Wed. & Fri. On Tues, Thu & Sat the lower body. You do nothing on Sun. Also, you can skip the Sat. lower body work out. Every 2 mo. we took a week or 2 off.
