How often do you rest?

Frank Bullitt

Its on my mind at the minute because I had plans to go after work today but was so dam tied i had to rest.

I'm currently on a remedial program along with a good bit of stretching as well,its very very challenging but the plan was to do upper body today but was not able for it,do many people on here get that often?

Well I'm probably different to others here as I'm only starting out and I'm quite unfit, but I find 3 days in a row is the max for me, my body just feels too tired on that 4th day so I need to rest.

2-3 days rest per week I say.

I do six days per week, but I alternate from days when I just run, to days when I do weights and other types of cardio. Mostly, thats fine, but if I push to hard on any of those days, I get drained. To be honest, I do get weeks when it catches up, so I probably do too much, and should do 5/6 days on alternate weeks, or at least take two rest days in a row sometimes. If I have an event I do take a few days rest beforehand to recharge, but because of my limited time other than that I tend to train whenever I have the a half hour to spare, which means most days.

I just thought Id mention so youd know what not to do as well as whats recommended.

If I feel my reps are lower than normal in a workout I will finish off with negatives, which I find quite easy to do.

Weekends are usually rest days for me (because i work weekends).

I never do the same muscle group 2 days in a row.
