I would recommend you read this article from the American Council on Exercise:- http://www.acefitness.org/fitnessqanda/fitnessqanda_display.aspx?itemid=254 For me, the most important thing is to listen to your body. If you feel tired, it's absolutely OK to take a rest day. Keep in mind, adequate rest is required to make the most of your training. But that doesn't mean you can use that as an excuse to slack off :) All the best in achieving your fitness goals! Hi Chris,

The video above was of a workout that I did slightly over a year ago. Since then, I've continued to learn and grow as a trainer and trainee. I now train doing CrossFit(crossfit.com) workouts. My overall performance and fitness has improved by leaps and bounds by CrossFitting regularly. By definition, CrossFit is a program that uses varied, functional movements done at high intensity. It develops athletic fitness by constantly challenging not only the body but also the mind. So give a try and you will be amazed at what you experience. morpheuzneo: Couldn't agree more with what you said, but I normally wipe down equipment after my workout :) What you see in the video was the 2nd round out of a total 3 that I was doing for time.
