If you are a world class athlete with a professional coach that would be different. Five days per week cardio should be plenty and three days a week weights. (While you can recover from most cardio workouts overnight, you should have a day off between weight workouts.) I haven't answered the question in your thread title because I don't know the answer to it, but I don't think it makes a whole lot of difference, and the difference could be academic if you are attempting too much. This is a serious matter, so please give it some careful thought.

Every person has a different body and genes. Some people can some people can't.

She needs to listen to her body.

At one point, I was doing an upper/lower split with heavy weight (300lb squats), running/cycling, and doing cross fit after work. This is added on to working 14 hour days rolling around in a humvee fully geared up.
