Is it a good idea to workout daily or every other day?

Question

Is it a good idea to workout daily or every other day because i heard it's a good idea to take a break and let your muscles heal or something. What should I do? Suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

(For weight training) You can workout every day, just alternate the muscles you are working. If you do abs & chest on Monday, do your arms or legs on Tuesday. Never the same muscles 2 days in a row. Remember, rest is very important. Without resting, your muscles can't repair themselves.

(For cardio/aerobics) It is fine to exercise every day, just don't push yourself too hard and get plenty of sleep.

Answer 2

Best is to work out every other day ,so your muscles can restore and do not get sore and stiff

Planets.

Do drink plenty of fluids..

Answer 3

When you start out you should actually put a couple of days in between workouts. This lets your body heal, not just muscles but all of the body parts you put to use. After a couple of weeks of this, then it would be safe to put maybe a day in between work outs. It just helps to keep things balanced and helps your body to refuel.
