I was wondering if doing Tae-Bo every day would lead into overtrained muscles. I ceirtanly do not want that.
I'm planning on doing the Billy Blank's Basic Training Bootcamp (I have the DVD) that it's a very complete, every other day. And the days I don't do that I was planning on doing the one that is focused on abs and glutes.
The thing is, in the Basic Training Bootcamp I will be working my abs and glutes. Obviously not as intensively, but I'm afraid I won't be giving them enough time to rest to have optimum results.
What do you think?
On a side note, I've seen some people here suggest doing like 400 crunches a day to get great abs, but isn't that wrong? Muscles grow when they rest, not while you're excercising,. Although, I've heard that after an amount of time you start burning a little fat around the area due to the heat or something like that. I don't really remember well.

No, you shouldn't get overtrained muscles by just doing a 30 minute aerobic workout a day.
Overtraining comes more from weightlifting exercise than from aerobic movements. The 400 crunches everyday would probably lead to overtraining. The day following the first 400 you wouldn't feel like doing any crunches. Any attempt to do crunches that following day with your guts so sore that you can't move is a sign of overtraining.
So basically, if the muscle group is too sore to do any work, let it rest. I'm currently doing a 5 day split on weighlifting, so I only work out each muscle group once a week. And every 7th week I take off a week for rest.
But for aerobics, I have been bicycling about an hour a day. That doesn't get me worn out and sore, but the weightlifting does.
Even with aerobics you shouldn't do it every day. You should at least take every 7th day off from working out.

Overtraining is once you get weaker whenever you bypass to the gymnasium, muscle failure is whem you place on a tank precise and you have not any muscle tissues lol or i propose you do reps till you may not do anymore haha
