    The idea is to do a workout 3 times a week, alternating between workout A and B, also giving yourself a rest day in between workouts.

    MWF is a common series of days. If that works for you, great. I lift Tues/Thu/Sat. That works for me. Your second scenario might sometimes have you lift 4 times a week. I'm no expert, but that seems a bit much.

    Just pick 3 days a week that you can commit, generally. And go with that. ...is my advice.

    What ever work for you but 3 times a week is enough

    You'd probably want to check the site, but if I recall correctly it's supposed to be 3 days per week, split up however you want--making sure you get enough rest. To that end, I think the second option you present might be a little much once you start lifting amounts that challenge you.

    Week 1

    Mon - Workout A
    Tues - Rest
    Wed - Workout B
    Thurs - Rest
    Fri - Workout A
    Sat - Rest

    Week 2

    Mon - Workout B
    Tues - Rest
    Wed - Workout A
    Thurs - Rest
    Fri - Workout B
    Sat - Rest

    Week 3 would look like week 1. Week 4 would look like week 2, etc.

    A recommendation: Don't do this much cardio on the program. Allow for rest days. 1-2 days light cardio, yoga, whatever else you enjoy, but don't go overboard.

    Ok, I think I've got it.

    A Petrarchan sonnet includes an octave (eight lines) followed by a sestet (six lines). The rhyme scheme of the octave is typically abbaabba. The sestet has its own rhyme scheme, and there are several acceptable patterns (e.g.cdcdcd, cdecde,).

    The Shakespearean sonnet is composed of four quatrains (of four lines each) and a concluding couplet (two lines). The rhyme scheme is as follows: abab cdcd efef gg.

    cdcdcd is tiresome... I prefer cdecde --- breaks it up, especially after all that abbaabba, Fernando...

    Every Body is different AND changes over time. My schedule only permits weights on Wed. Sat. & Sun. The workout is different every day, but I do at least half an hour of rigorous cardio 6 times a week. I have been "at this" with many different variations since my early twenties and I am now going to be 56 in a few weeks. I recently decided to start going heavy again and I have been increasing the weights EVERY single work-out, and am able to do much more NOW than I was capable of thirty years ago. The point is: over a period of time, you get to know how your body reacts. You are your own best advisor.
