[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do some light exercise because I figure I'm going to feel worse the next day and not go at all. So at least I've done something that week.[/quote]
This.

I usually exercise every day.

I do have days where I am tired or not feeling well or whatever, and those days I do like 60 minutes of moderate cardio and just don't push myself, or lift weights. [/quote]

This sounds really unhealthy.  I am an avid runner -- 30 to 40 miles a week -- but I always take two rest days a week.  Its the key to fitness because your muscles need to rebuild, thats how you get stronger.  If you think 60 minutes is a light day, and you don't take any rest days, it sounds really compulsive.  Eventually your body will fight back.[/quote]

20:16 again: I agree with the need for rest wholeheartedly.  I've been an athlete for 20+ years (running, rowing, swimming) and I've always taken one rest day/week.  I think that's a big part of what's helped me stay with it this long.  Your body and mind need the rest.  I'll run in all kinds of crazy conditions (Snowmaggedon?  Bring it on!), but I won't give up my day of rest.[/quote]
