    Rest day. I am arthritic so these are essential to me. That said, I may do something very light like stretching-focused yoga on a rest day if I feel the desire to do some sort of body work.

    My training week goes like;

    Monday- pre work cardio
    Tuesday - post work circuit class
    Wednesday - rest and knitting circle, cos that's how I roll :sunglasses:
    Thursday - post work circuit class
    Friday - pre work cardio
    Weekend - rest, but I tend to walk a lot if that counts?

    The circuit class has a mix of activities but with a focus on weights and good technique.

    I've been doing this routine for about a month and I really like it

    Strength Training day for me. I have no scheduled rest days. If something comes up or I feel I need it I'll take one.

    It's worked well for me for a long time.

    Now started training upper and lower days instead of muscle group splits.

    Anyone else done this before?

    I run Wendlers 531 program and it's a fundamentally upper lower split.
    On the 11th cycle for this past year.
