Does one day of not working out hurt progress?

If you don't work out for one day does it hurt you more because you work out everyday

Yes

No

If you are exercising for weight loss/training for something specific, and doing a lot of strenuous weight lifting and cardio work, it is actually advised that you have at least one or two days off a week from your exercise regimen to give your body time to heal/rest. Too much activity can actually have a negative affect on your body b/c it will become overworked and overtired and can actually lead to injury. Even in terms of moderate exercise like walking, a small break from time to time is advisable.

no it doesn't, but obviously if ur spending that day unwisely u could be set back a little bit. depends on the time you've given yourself to achieve the goal.

In fact you don't need to work out every day. You need some rest to recover too :)

No. Having at least one rest day is partly how you make gains.

No but make sure it is just one day, try to do some cardiovascular exercise though

You should take 2-3 rest days a week.

One day off isn't going to hurt your progess
