skipping arm and ab workouts would be a good start.. hehe isolation in general is pretty worthless unless you are doing the bodybuilding thing--and even then. Stick with larger muscle groups instead, compound muscle movements etc.

As for resting muscles, if you are just getting started you shouldn't be pushing until you are sore. Stop before you get to that point then build up from there the next day. Never increase reps or weight by more than 10% from workout to workout, eat lots of protein and some whey will help with any recovery pains (doesnt' take a lot). By doing that you can work out every day without issue. If you start doing some advanced workouts with heavier lifting and maxing out reps/weights until you gas out completely? (like so bad you can barely walk out of the gym?) yes, you need a good 72 hours of cool down in between at least. but for lighter routines like i mentioned above you can do that every day until you are 80 i'm sure--more so without isolation training.
