past two weeks i have been training 7 days a week. is this ok? i looked online and they said even with cardio you should rest. i know today i just ran and jumped rope, could that count as a rest day? what do you guys say?

SJM

i train everyday, never had a problem

itsvolpe63

you train everyday and have not seen any loss or halt in growth?

SJM

what do u mean loss in growth? i just mean i havent had anything negative come from it. I dont wanna waste any time sitting at home, when i can be training and getting in better shape.

obviously same here, but i read online if you dont rest your muscles from even cardio they will start to break down.

since cardio only moderately damages muscle tissue, it isn't that bad to do it every day. so long as youre not running more than 5 or 6 miles. major muscle damage like body building requires much more recovery time.

SJM

you get enough rest while ur sleeping

ccrowley

you need atleast 1 day of rest a week.ur not letting ur body recover and just keep breaking it down, u should take 1 day a week offfffffff

SJM

you shouldent be doing pushups everyday though. I do body weight exercises once a week but i do a lot. And if ur gonna train everyday or 6 days a week, you shouldnt be boxing everyday but switching between boxing, cardio workouts, and body weight exercises.
