Hi Dianne

Starting out I would not jump into working out 6 days a week. You don't want to overtrain and get sick of it and then never do it again. Start out with one day upper body...one day cardio, next day lower body and take 2 days off and build from there over time. Doing WAP 3 times a week will give you cardio and a weight workout combined..

You are right that your muscles need rest to build up..that is why you usually do weights every other day or like with BFL you do one day upper body..next day cardio...then lower body...cardio....upper body ect.

What kind of training do you have in mind?
