Hi Jessie,

I have found that two days in a row of really hard exercise (which is what your tape sounds like) is about all my body can handle. I either need to take the third day off or do something more relaxed, such as a two mile walk at a not too fast pace (say 20 minutes per mile). You're younger than I am, so you can probably tolerate more, but it sounds as though your body is telling you that three days in a row of that tape is too much. How about a schedule like doing the tape for two days, doing something less vigorous for one day, doing the tape for one day, and then taking the next day off. I think we all need to rest at least one, and often two, days a week. There is a reason that every major religion has a day of rest.
