HIIT one day, steady cardio the next?
So I know you're not supposed to do HIIT every day, to avoid overtraining that is.
But what if I do a routine like this:
HIIT = 20-35 minutes
Cardio = 30-35 minutes
Day1 - HIIT
Day2 - Cardio
Day3 - HIIT
Day4 - Cardio
Day5 - HIIT
Day6 - Cardio
Day7 - And if I don't want to, rest this day
Would you say that is all too much?

You'll know soon enough if it's too much.
If you're feeling chronically fatigued - in general and muscularly;
If you're feeling chronically sore;
If you're dreading your workouts;
If you're performance is dropping;
You have become overtrained.
Personally, this would be way too much for me, but I don't know what your life is like. I have a kid, a house, a job and do other recreational activities such as high-diving and playing floor hockey. These things all affect your ability to do that much exercise.

It depends on your fitness levels. It looks fine though, it's not excessive, your body can sustain this amount of exercise per day. One day off a week is a must though. Keep it up!
