Several work outs a day are fine IF you are not over exercising and always stretch and warm up first. Don't forget to eat and hydrate.How come so many times a day? Your need for an answer like this could be a result of an eating disorder that you have to come to terms with. Seek professional help if exercise and food monitoring rules/ruins your life.

You should be waiting at least 48 hours in between workouts (unless you did your legs in the morning, and abs and arms in the afternoon, but you'd still have to wait 2 days to repeat). This is because weight training is catabolic...it causes damage to the muscle (which is also why you get tender later on). You start to build muscle mass by strength training through a process called anabolism...rebuilding of the muscles. If you lift weights too often, you will only be catabolic...your body will never get a chance to become anabolic, meaning that you will actually start to lose muscle. Not a good idea.

It's not good for your muscles. They definitely need a break.
If you really find that you need that physical release twice a day, go to the gym before work in the morning and run on the treadmill to get your muscles warmed up. Go again after work and lift weights. Then drink a protein shake to feed your muscles.
Hope that helps.

It depends on how hard you train. If your train very hard then is not good to overtrain the muscle because it needs time to recover. Threre is no problem to excercise another group of mucles, some professional for example do upperbody on the morning and lowerbody at evening, that's an example but you can choose another type of routing combination, the important is not to overtrain the same mucle group. Read some books and magazines to get more hits.

you should let the muscles you exercised rest for 2 days before exercising them again. alternate your exercises so you don't work on the same muscles every time. do upper body one day and lower body another.

what is the point of doing another work out.. if your 1st work out was good enough then you shouldnt be able to do a 2nd one. just try pumping harder till you cant pump more in ur 1st work out
