Weight Training Daily?

Joe Asked:

I am currently doing weight training daily, is this okay to do or do I

need to give the muscles a break?

Ask The Fitness Dudes Answer:

Well Joe, it is okay to do weight training everyday as long as you are working out different muscle groups. It is bad when you are doing upper body workouts everyday, or even full body workouts everyday. You never want to workout the same muscles everyday. By alternating muscle groups, you will be allowing your body to recover and build. I would still allow yourself one day where you do not do any workouts at all. When you do weightlifting your muscles tear and then when you rest your muscles repair and rebuild. If you were to workout the same muscles everyday, they would never repair.
