Is it best to go to the gym every day or every other day?

Depends. Say you work on legs today. Then you can gym arms and back tomorrow. As long as you give legs a rest on the alternate day. Dont work the same muscle group on consecutive days. Allow a day for recovery especially if you're looking to build muscle. Cardio that bitch up for about 20 mins at least 4 times a week. No ones wants muscle covered in fat. Remember you can't out-train a bad diet. And consistency is key. No point going big at the gym once every blue moon. Make sure your diet is adjusted to the goals you're looking to achieve. Muscle gain/ weight loss / maintaining. Get your macros in check.

It is recommended to stay active everyday, however that does not mean you have to go to the gym. Even though I am younger, I tend to go to the gym often but I do a variety of workouts to work on different muscle groups everyday. But Im also a dancer, and track runner so it also depends on the season for me. If the gym means staying active to u , then go do it everyday- work on different muscles!

Not everyday. If to build up , atlease 4 times a week wth gaps in between so your body can rest. Your muscle needs time to heal. But if you must do everyday , work on different things, like today your legs , tomorrow arms and so on.

The only true answer to this question is that it depends on what your doing at the gym and your fitness levels and how adapted you are to a certain exercise that you are undertaking. Not to mention nutrition and diet which will have a huge impact on recovery times. You need to listen to your body, any body part you are going to use should not be tired when you start using it, you need to let your body rest and recover as much as you need to work it hard at the gym. Generally speaking cardio can be done more frequently than strength exercises though

it depends what kind of programme are you up to. For example i go 4times a week. first day i train my arms and shoulders and second day i train my chest, back and legs, i repeat this programme after rest for a day. i train my abs every trainning day. i seperated my programme like this. but there are my friends who come 6 days a week or 3 days a week. 6 days friends are a little professional but 3 days friends take a one day rest after trainning day because they train evry muscle group and should rest the next day.

Best to go every alternate day, this allows for your body to recuperate and bounce back after a work out. This is especially important in the intial stages of your fitness routine as your body needs to adjust accordingly. Even when you are in an established routine I would still recommend every alternate day, as the body does need to once again recover and a day is more than enough :) Good luck mate

Really depends on your time and schedule. There's no right and wrong answer. As long you workout with intensity 3-5 times a week, anytime is great. I personally go weekdays just to work every part of my body and a 2 day rest on the weekends.

Go one day take one day break and so on. And Start with a Complete Body Training for 2 Weeks. Then you can do a Split to gain some muscle.

Peace out

Whatever works best for you and your body, just don't hurt yourself.

Everyone here would go on weekdays and have one rest day. So 4 days a week, never weekends.

Every other day since your body need time to heal after each workout.

Every other day is more than enough.
