    I think the best thing, especially if you've never done much exercise, is to go slowly, step by step... don't do too much but be persistent ;)

    Don't be afraid to take a rest day here and there to avoid over-use injuries.

    Yes, you MUST have AT LEAST ONE REST day. I would say more than that if you are just starting. Keep increasing your days and workouts with time. Do NOT over do it! PLUS, YOU CAN DO THIS! Great job so far!

    The 2nd day is usually the sorest, but you will make great strides quickly if you just stick with it. I usually find it helpful to go for a walk to loosen it all up when I'm really sore. Hang in there!

    You can do it! I only took a month off from working out and I'm definitely paying for it this week! Don't give up!
