Good evening all,
I'm very new to this site and have spent days on end reading articles and watching videos. What a great and informative site you all have her.
I have had trouble finding a good answer to my question an apologize in advance.
Is there a set amount of time I need to take off after my leg day. e.g... I did legs this saturday am, yesterday no gym, rested all day. Today, I'm obviously still sore, is it a bad idea to do my cardio if I'm still sore or do I let it heal another day or two. This is a weekly occurrence for me and would like some guidance in the right direction. Now I really do want to get my cardio in, don't want to miss too many days.

Dont know if helps, but I do a sprint in the morning, a weighted jog during the day, and slow pace jog before sleep almost everyday + all my regular workouts throughout the week, so if your legs are sore it would make the soreness go away if you do some little jogging since it would start the flow of blood and warm it up a bit. If you get sore every week that means you either go way way too much, or dont train your muscle properly. Try having a nice stretch, then do proper 3 sets of 6-18 reps increasing the weight. Not a weightlifting person much just do it to stay toned up.

Walking is annoying but I can walk. Being honest with myself, there is a very little amount of difficulty. 1 hour ago I had to carry a patient up 2 flights and was able to, it hurt like hell but got the job done. I figure if I can do that then 30 min moderate cardio is ok. Hopefully I'm not wrong.
To the poster above. With my job I'm not able to take walks through out the day sorry man. Anything else?

just man up and work through the pain(not trying to insult you), in fact the cardio will probably help dissipate some of the lactic acid build-up and aid in recovery, which will in turn make the pain go away faster.
