Rest Days - how space out Weights vs CV??

marty 600 · 10-23-2005, 10:19 AM

Hiya All,

Back in the gym tonight.
4 month planning now....

Aims:
Primary: Strength build over 4month period.
Secondary: Bit of Muscle mass building

I do CV 2 times a week (Which is unchangable) and I aim to do Weights 2 times a week as well. I'm knackered the day after each of these types of workouts. I also hit the problem of not enough time to have a good 8hr sleep before work the next day.

Ideally I imagine, its best to have a rest day after a Workout day....
But Trying to fix the CV in with the Weights... that makes 8 days! (4 workouts days and 4 rest days...)

Is it better to have the days off after weight training, or a day off after CV?

I can See myself doing CV, then doing weights the next evening - even though I'm physically and metally tired from the CV the night before.... just so I can have a night off the day after the 2 day stint....

My fixed days so far are:

Sat - Day off - social
Sun -
Mon -
Tue - Cardio Vasc. (CV) - dance night - 4 tee shirt changes - alots of CV going on!
Wed -
Thur -
Fri - Cardio Vasc. (CV) - dance night - 4 tee shirt changes - alots of CV going on!

My delema is where I fit the Weights in. Sun is a given I reckon. But should I shove the Weights on the Wed or Thur????

Please advise
Martin
