Our bodies need rest days to recover from exercise.

Yep, rest days are critical. You are better off exercising 5 days and taking 2 days off (staggered throughout the week or after particularly tough days) to let your body repair + rest. Your workouts will be much more effective.

You wont make it exercising every single day (or at least, exercising intensely every single day). Your body gets stronger and your muscles grow larger when they heal from a workout, not by doing a workout. With no rest, you overtrain and tear your muscle down quicker than your body can build it back up. I use a pretty good system- 3 days hard training followed by a day of rest, 2 more day back on, 1 more off, and start again. So, I would train hard tuesday, wed, thurs, and rest fri. Sat, Sun back to training, resting again on monday. Works like a charm, and your body isnt pushed to its limits too soon |
