 I workout every day, Mon-Fri.  I usually do 30 mins of cardio and 30 mins of weights.  I try to change it up a little every day...one day I may do a 30 min run, the next 10 on the bike, 10 on the treadmill, and 10 on the elliptical.  I also change the weight routines every day...one day arms, one day legs, one day full body. 

The key is "listen" to your body.  If you do a hard workout one day, take it a little easier the next, but still do something.  Do give yourself some full rest days.  Saturdays I may do just a bike ride or an easy 3 mile run.  I usually take Sundays off completely.

Good luck!

Walking should be fine everyday. However you should listen to your body.  If your knees or feet hurt - then you need to switch what you are doing or go every other day.  Maybe try working out on a stationary bike, rower, or try swimming.  Those will change up your routine a bit. 

I have been doing the treadmill, zumba/aerobics, yoga, and lifting weights.  And yes I get sore !  Some days are harder to move than otheres.  Normally you can do abdominal work everyday.  Unless you are using weight machines or a weight ball - that I would alternate every other day.

Good luck! :)
