today: only 1 hour elliptical and some stretching.

To those who work out often: do you also sometimes feel like if you do not rest enough (in my case only one day the week), your body looks LESS toned than if you would rest a little bit more?
I know that it also depends on how fit you are and how you change your workout routine from day to day.
i do "use" my legs in everyworkout, even when i do cardio only.
I don't know, maybe it's just me...

Not sure about "Looks" , as this can sometimes be deceptive.
The body changes throughout the day anyhow. Lighting can be a factor, aswell as temperature. So this is one of the reasons i keep a diary. I personally don't use "Looks" as a gauge. Well, only a small fraction.
The physiological effects of exercising, negative and positive, are a different matter maybe.
Rest periods can also be enhanced, or inhibited by a varying amount of factors.
And as we all most probably reconise, rest is an essential ingrediant.
Aswell as varying routine , fairly regually, i do vary rest periods. Listening to the body is pretty important i think.

Thank you . I try the "listenng to my body" thing, but sometimes the plan in my head is stricter than my body (if this makes sense)

Today: felt really not in the mood to work out, but did 40 min treadmill and free weights for the arms

[miceghost]

Ugh, I neeeeed to quit smoking. I almost died exercising today, haha. I usually only ride the stationary bike, and do some sit ups, but today I started the 30 day shread and pretty much collapsed in the middle of it. Lol.

No worries.
