Commendable but rest: Your exercise program sound vigorous and should be commended, but the muscles also need time to rest and rebuild. Your tiredness could be how it's telling you to take a rest for a day. If the tiredness remains despite the rest, see your doctor to rule out other causes.

Recovery days: You should speak with a trainer about the importance of recovery days and adequate rest to avoid fatigue and injury.
