Can i skip my day of rest ?

I was thinking of just doing the program 5 days in a row for this week. Is this bad? I always feel guilty when I dont go to the gym :( -------------- Julie "We can do anything we want to do if we stick to it long enough" -Helen Keller

I dont think i can make it to the gym on saturday that is my problem. Do you suggest just skipping saturdays workout all together? I just dont want to screw up the program. -------------- Julie "We can do anything we want to do if we stick to it long enough" -Helen Keller

I'd say it's ok to switch it for this one time if you know your not going to make it on saturday and you be able to catch up on some rest. just make sure your not working two large muscle groups back to back your body does need that time to rest and heal. You might have to switch your routine around a little.gl
