    I work out 3 days a week, sometimes 4. I tried every day when I first started but found I was tired, grumpy and all round not a happy camper....everyone is different, so do what works for you.

    If you are exhausted with the routine you have, you are probably overdoing it. Exercise is supposed to make you feel better, not worse...good luck!

    I work out 6 days a week and then do a recovery day which consists of either an hour stretch session from P90X or a half hour with a foam roller.

    We need rest days...and I admit I hate taking them too...honestly I think today was supposed to be my day off and I jut automatically planned on going to the gym...hmmmmm...my problem is I associate rest day with cheat day..and that isn't the case!!

    There are worse things to be addicted to!! Lol!! Sounds like u have a great variety, and fitting "something" in on a rest day isn't a problem...maybe just a nice long walk!!

    I haven't taken a true rest day for 3wks, I am hurting today so tomorrow. I on wk 7 of insanity so I usually walk or do elliptical on the rest day. BUT my body is screaming at me so I am forcing myself to break. Going to do nothing!

    wow thanks for all the replies everyone

    seems like most take at least 1 day a week to rest, i've had a very lazy day today done hardly anything just some light cleaning laundry and dinner i actually managed to go back to bed for a couple of hours before my husband left for work was totally exhausted not from working out but lack of sleep, feel so much better for having a bit of sleep and resting though - although I feel so guilty lol

    I might do a bit of zumba when kids go to bed :-) just something light iykwim

    since I started on my weight loss and get fit journey it's all I am thinking about but I am afraid if I start to relax with it all I will lose motivation which I can not afford to do with another 85lb still to lose lol

    I aim for 6, but some weeks I can't seem to fit a rest day in and so I'll do 7.
