Do you have a rest day?
I have read, and been told, this so many times how important it is to give your body a rest day when working out. This allows your muscles to heal which causes them to build. I have heard of some people who exercise 3 days and then rest 1, others work out 4 and then rest one. What do you do? TIA (Thanks In Advance)

Accurate Calories Burned with Exercise
