oh s*** I thought that rest days meant just that, I did not want to have to do cardio on my off days,

opinions? started from almost comotose last August, began walking on treadmill, 2mph for 25 minutes, now can go 3 mph almost indefinetly, faster, I am very short, and I would need to run which I would feel uncomfortable doing, and my heartrate is just fine at 3mph, when this gets easy am planning on trying the elipital thing,

anyway now I do 15 minutes 3mph at a 2.0 hill for warm up then do the circuit resistance machines then another 15 minutes on the treadmill,

so are you saying that I could also go on my off days to just do treadmill?

also do I eat protein before or after the resistance training? can I just eat the protein like usual or do you suggest additional?

by the way I really feel the 'burn' after, it feels like I have hot muscles for the whole next day too,
