I'm a 23-year-old female. I've been active most of my life, but was really sick for months, and now I'm getting back into shape (I'm getting close, about 75% there). I'm 5'6", 138lbs, and was measured with 22% body fat.

On Monday I'm meeting with a personal trainer. On Friday he worked resistance strength training. I'm not super sore today, just a little tension in my chest muscles. Today (Saturday) is my rest day, and I wanna go workout tomorrow. Any idea what I should do? Cardio? Strength training? Circuits (any specific exercises to do or avoid)? I don't wanna be too sore or burned out by Monday. When I do cardio I'll hop on the elliptical or stepper for 40-45 minutes.

Any input? Thanks
 
Maybe some stretching with focus exercises. Hatha Yoga does this. It is not complicated and can help set the stage for your more intense work out on Monday. Hatha Yoga pretty much lays down a slow, focused breathing routine that parallels, slow body movements. For instance, one can raise a quad. muscle area while inhaling slowly ( to a count of 1-5 to 1-15 depending on ability). Then lower the quad, or relax - what i mean. While lowering, or relaxing the quad muscles, breathe outwards slowly. By tying in breath to movement you sharpen focus. Then you are ready for your Big workout scheduled for Monday. Repeat the process with similar muscle groups. Slow and steady. Ready for Monday.
