How often should you strength train?
I've always heard that you should have a day of rest in between strength training, but I have the impression that you're supposed to do Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred every day, and that has a lot of strength training. Do you have to take a day off when you work with weights, or can you do it every day if you want to?

But once I'm exercising and I start to feel tired, I let myself stop. I'm not dizzy, or in pain, or gasping for air. It's not my body. I'm just tired, and feeling the burn,…
