ah, i can answer this
my dad used to be a trainer (and a body builde)r when he was in the military and he still trains ppl now when he's not at work so i grew up around weights and such..
they said that you need to rest every 2 or 3 days, but thats not true...true u have to rest your muscle to give them time to grow, but the hurt u feel after your work is a good thing, soon youll stop hurting, when that happens youll need to change up your work out to shock your muscles again so they can grow more.........you should do upper body every other day, say u do upper body monday, dont do it again until wednesday, lower body tuesday thursday and saturday, normally i take sundays off, that would be the day you let your whole body recover, u get what im sayn right? unfortunately that doest really apply to abs and cardio, abs is something you should do everyday, my brother is a boxer so he said getting abs is tough (which it is) but once u have them, keeping them gets tougher cus u have to work em out everyday

about the weight bands u have...i heard storys from ppl telling me that i shouldnt wear mine everyday, but i played football from 4th grade to my freshman year in college, and even at practice i would have on my weights (minus weight vest) but in school and at work id have it on and im fine, idk that maybe cus i started working out daily when i was in the 4th grade tho, but still u should be iight.
all in all, if u just want to get stay in shape, just do push ups sit ups and run with the weights on and youll be ok....getting bigger is tiresome trust me i know.
