Is it okay to strength train everyday?

The actual benefits of strength training happen on the resting days.  You need a day or two for the muscles to repair themselves (which is what builds actual strength).  If you have to strength train every day, alternate what you're training.  IE:  legs on day one, upper body on day two, core muscles on day three.  This way, you still have some recuperation time.

yes because when u lift weights, u dont "gain muscle", u tear your body tissue. Then, ur body will heal the tissue and make it stronger. thus, strengthening ur muscle. if u lift weights everyday ur body wont have a chance to heal the tissue that u have tore. It is best to alternate days when u exercise. 1 day lift weights, next day go jogging, then lift weights again, then jogging again.

It is not entirely true. \n\nFor an average person, it is not good to train the same muscle on consecutive days. Your muscles take 48-72 hours to recover depending on the intensity of your workout.\n\nYou can however work completely different set of muscles on consecutive days and make excellent gains. For eg. chest and triceps on Day 1 / Legs on Day2. \n\nPowerlifters however practice the same lifts (they don't train body parts, but train for lifts) probably every single day. They are professionals, have diiferent diets and schedules, lead completely different lives from us normal people.

You should push yourself to do more than 10-15. Maybe start with 20 and work your way up each day.  You should be able to feel it!!

Since you are doing core training, I assume you need it stronger so you can do a standard free weight program. Until you have it built up just use machines, that is better then nothing. Then you can switch when your core is good. Do some cardio on the other days until your heart and lungs are in good shape. Then you will be able to do high intensity interval training. Exercise every day if you can. 2.5 to 3 hours of weights over 3 days is good. Then do 15 to 20 minutes a day 3 times of intervals and 1 20 minute session of regular cardio. Over a couple years I have cut more then 80 pounds of fat. Put on 70+ pounds of lean mass too. I know some of it is bone density, but it is mostly muscle. I think 4 hours a week should do it.

I used to go to the gym twice a day a while back. Was in the best shape of my life.\n\nIt's fine as long as you get plenty of rest and eat for enegy between workouts. Also don't do the same thing on both sessions.\n\nThe evening session has to be light (preferably cycling...something low impact).\n\nAlso remember resting your muscles is part of the process. When your muscles feel tight or sore, just relax and take the day off. You will come back stronger.

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.

really depends on your build and your aims, but it may be prefered to associate opposing muscles in one day, pull and push excercises together, i.e. triceps with back, chest with biceps and then maybe shoulders with legs, this system will be adequate if you are on a 3 days a week plan

DON'T LIFT EVERY DAY\nOk, technically you can lift everyday. Just not the same muscles. When you lift you tear muscle tissue and it needs 48 hours to rest and repair. If you feel the need to lift weights every day, split your body in two (upper and lower), and work one half one day and the other half the next.

Depends on your age, base training, and overall health.  And what are your goals, marathons, body building, or good health?  If you have a specific goal or talent, a coach can surely help you develop that talent.  Myself, I used the gym to tone a little and to warm up to run.\n\nHere's a summation of all I have read about the subject and my experience.  I think the teachings are and have been for a long time that you should weight train no more than every other day.\n\nAbout the running - I ran almost every day for many years.  It is okay to run every day IF you take 1 day a week to rest, and avoid overuse.  Looking back at every illness and injury, I attribute to long periods of running without a day of rest.    Overuse occurs in any form from illness to injury.\n\nI don't think running inhibits your muscle recovery unless you do excessive quad and hamstring in the gym, in which case, you are doubling workouts on your legs that I would discourage.  In fact, running probably speeds up the flusihing out of lactic acid that builds up with weights.\n\nRemember that weight training shortens your muscles and running tends to lengthen your muscles.  \n\nBottom line is this.  eat right, take vitamins, listen to your body, get plenty of rest.  Never forget that a good day of rest is as good as a day of training.  GOOD LUCK.

There are a number of ways to do this, without knowing what you're doing now I couldn't recommend anything specific but to develop strength you may start by working off of your 1 rep max.  It gets pretty detailed but this is a good website to explain this and develop a program--scroll down to the strenth training box and also read the section on periodization.  Good Luck!\n\n\nhttp://www.stumptuous.com/cms/displayarticle.php?aid=138

My husband's trainer asked him not to work a particular muscle group every single day..Do workout for ur hands every 3 days.\nVary the exercises_like the equipments u use every month so that ur body doesnt get used to the same thing..

You will get better results alternating muscle groups, but you should remember to include aerobic exercise in addition to weights. If you exercise muscle groups only moderately, you can do it each day, but ypu will not get the muscle development you want. At least that's what worked best for me.

not in excess. if u only lift light weights it's good. but heavy weights can actually be bad for your heart.
