I heard that you are suppose to let your body rest in between work-outs but, I get discouraged quickly and rather exercise daily. But, is it safe?

Cardio at low and medium intensities can be done every day and you can mix in one or two high intensity sessions but if it is always high intensity then you should limit it to 4 or 5 times per week. \n\nAs for weight training, as long as you do not exercise a particular muscle group more than once a week then you should be ok training everyday but remember, you mind needs rest too. The rest period between workouts is where you get all your gains, as you probably know, you break down your muscle fibers in the gym then when you rest they repair and grow.\n\nAs always, you MUST listen to your body, when it feels over trained you must give it some rest to avoid injury. You will know if you are in an over trained state if your heartrate will not increase with exersice or if it drops inordinatly in BPMs druing training.

Yes it might be discouraging, but keep going. I'm sore every day. When you push your body to its limits working out you strech muscels that will later reproduce and become stronger. When sore just take a day break and start working agian. Working out is fun and great for you. I'd 100 times rather be sore than fat! LOL!\n\nP.S.: This is normal

You know that u are just only 15 years old \nThat is not good for you to work hard for a whole week \nObviously, your bones and  tissues are not mature, strong  enough to withstand the outcome heavy impact. \nI wonder why you do not have time for rest. \nyour body will continue growing but it would slower than others in case you still work so hard.

No. If you are doing weights, do Mon-Wed-Fri\nIf you are doing stretching; do every day\nIf you are doing aerobics, do every day.

You are correct; everyone will come down at a different descent rate after exercising, but the point is that everyone should be at less than 120 beats/minute after 2 minutes. If not, there's something wrong with their recovery.

Yeah, you sure made it sound more complicated than it is. \nWork each body part once a week, hard enough to deserve a full week of rest between workouts. The real period of muscle growth isn't when you are ripping your muscles apart, it's when they are recovering from a workout. Eat a good diet, high in protein (if you are going for muscle growth).  Get plenty of active rest. Active rest doens't need sit on the couch. It means do your usual activity without straining yourself too much.

haha okok first off i admire your effort..you really went after it...so whats wrong with your legs??blood...when you worked out did you cool down..or did you sit down..when you left your workout room were you out of breath??if you didnt cool down(same exercises with lower reps and weight) you left a good amount of blood in your muscles(legs) are the biggest muscles=more pain) ..you're heart pumps oxygen rich blood your the muscles that need it ...a cool down would have help the blood get back to the heart faster..so you wont have to walk to the car feeling like you have an elephant on your back..also you could have just overwork yourself..after a workout,when you go home check your heart beat ..if i still beating fast two hours after working out ..you need it clutch down a gear..if this was recent go for a walk...you'll be less sore after work outs to!!...hope this helps..a very smart question too

It is supposed to be really good exercise, personally I don't think you can have too much, as long as you are only having it with one person and not sleeping around, I think it is fine.\n\nIf it is you you are talking about I think you are a lucky $£&*(**!"£$!^$^

yes use slightly less weight and rest no more than 30 secconds between sets...you wont seem as strong but your muscles cant tell if something weighs 5 pounds or 50 lbs...they just know they are being excerted hard...after a few weeks your muscles should adjust and you will get more defined.

You might be overtraining.  Make sure you are taking at least one full day of rest each week.  Also make sure that you are eating enough for all the working out that you are doing.

Why should you?  You get enough excersise during the day, and it was only one day!  Chill out and lay back dude!=}

You should talk to your doctor to be cleared to do strenuous exercises. He may have you start slow, and work up to something more strenuous. You definately don't want to cause yourself to have a heart attack or something.

wow!! don't listen to that guy that answered before me.  First of all you don't get sore from working out if you don't stretch. Stretching has nothing to do with it!!  The reason you are sore is because when you do excersises you are "tearing" the muscles.  That is what makes them sore!  But its good for them to tear, that is what you want to happen.  The reason is that when your body repairs those torn muscle fibers they repair them even stronger than before.  Thats why people get stronger when they lift weights and exercise. The more you tear them the stronger you will be.  \nAnd yes the harder you workout the sorer you will be but thats not necessarily a bad thing.  Its good if thats all your doing is "tearing" the muscles.  Now if you pull something on the other hand then that is bad.  But from your question I don't think thats what happened.  \nAnd yes its fine to workout 2 days after your last one.  Its best to leave at least a day of rest before you work that same muscle group again so that it will have time to repair completely.  Actually today just work out a different set of muscles and then go back to your back tomorrow or the next day.  \nYou should stretch but thats just to get your muscles warmed up so that when you put strain on them you won't seriously injure anything!\nAlso if your a beginner and thats why you have a trainer then I would recommend getting a book instead.  You will learn more and its way cheaper. If you are a male then I would recommend buying a book put out by Men's Health. They have a really good one called the "hard-body plan".  Its worth it.  Buy it at amazon and get it used for cheap!

you should keep going, your muscles will soon become relaxed as time go on. If you stop now you may not start back. So keep up the good work.As the saying go no pain no gain.

It's ok to workout a few days in a row, as long as you are training different muscle groups each day. Do not workout everyday of the week, you need days off so the body can recover.\n                  good luck....

take ur workout nice and easy at first. don't work urself to that point, know when to stop. if u go watch tv or sleep right after ur done working out thats a bad idea, u just worked up ur body for nothing. I would say after ur done ur workout, walk slowly on the treadmill to calm ur body down a bit. plus drink alot of water during ur exercise.

I don't think that the length of time is too much. However, I suggest taking at least one day of in your 5 day heavy workout (like day 3) to rest. Your body needs to rejuvenate.
