I actually take a day off every week. I’ve found that I feel overtrained very easily if I don’t. Taking one day off doesn’t really pose a problem for me as far as it turning into longer, because I just consider it part of my exercise schedule. It does seem easier to get back to it the next day because I’m rested, plus I really DO miss the feeling of having worked out.

I’m all about variety too. Changing things up every so often is what has kept me from abandoning attempts at fitness altogether. I have a whole list of things now that I rotate through, from circuit training to a boot camp DVD to the WiiFit and outside cardio. It keeps things fresh!
