For those who do follow the site or are simply interested in what a busy fit week should look like in terms of rest, your aim should be to work out your whole body 3 times in a row with 1 rest day between. This way you're encouraging fast recovery and whole boy training/functionality. If you have any specific questions, post them in the comments.-
