Should I skip a day or go every day?

Question

I've already worked out 3 or 4 times this week. I've really increased the intensity of my workouts and am very busy w/school. I was wondering if it was o.k. to skip a day or two in between workouts. I'm just getting worn out. I'm still getting in about 3 or 4 good workouts a week on average...I just spread them out.

Answer 1

Yes you should be able to skip a day in between workouts. It sounds like you are already working hard with what your doing at the minute.

It is recommended that we work out 3-4 times a week anyway, so its fine to take a break inbetween. I know its important that we push ourselves but its also important not to over do it and take a break now and then.

Good Luck and keep up what your doing :)

Answer 2

Hi. My son is a trainer, and he says it's actually better to skip a day in between working out. If you wanted to go everyday, just work a different part of your body then you worked on the day before. As long as your just working out to keep in shape, 3 to 4 times a week is great. Good Luck :-)

Answer 3

yes thats absolutely fine. in fact, they recommend to go every second day to begin with...so you're good!

Answer 4

oh poor baby you just need to spread me out instead, and during tired periods we can always have a siesta on your big comfy bed where you can use me as a pillow and float away into dreamland for a while oh it would be perfect he he
