I am currently working out 5-6 days a week for about 30 minutes each session. How many days a week should I be resting? I don't want to overdo it.

I do three body pump classes per week and in between those classes I do spin and/or step. Weekends off. I love how strong I feel

One issue I am running into is that my back really hurts after I do a mere 30 minutes on the treadmill. I have been doing some resistance bands and crunches hoping it is just the fact that I need to build up the back muscles. But, it makes me not want to do the treadmill because I am in pain most all day long from it.

You could try exercise bike or rowing machine where your back isnt under so much pressure.. I have a bad back and treadmill isnt really comfortable for me so i use an exercise bike and rowing machine they work great

I workout 4 days a week

2 days 1 hour cardio and half hour weights

2 days 30 mins each weight training and abs.

I have lost 105 lbs, so it works for me.

Sunday-weights and cardio one hour

Monday-water aerobics at bariatrics

Tuesday- cardio and weights/strength

Wednesday- walk 2 miles

Thursday- weights and cardio one hour

Friday- walking 2 mikes or rest and veg out

Saturday-body pump, swim, or walk 2 miles

Thus is the beginning of my routine two weeks now. Feel sore but taking it slower

I exercise at least 5 days a week 60 minutes a day. Two of those days I do Zumba it's a great workour ans fun.
