Should you work the same body part everyday?

So when I go workout I always work out my biceps, triceps, and chests. I do that everyday and then I do back muscles, abs, and legs on and off throughout the week. Should I be doing this? I try to workout everyday ( I skipped a few days due to vacations and school work)

Every other day. The way it works is like this... When you work out you introduce micro tears into your muscle fibres. The body repairs these tears by coating them in proteins which thicken the muscle fibre. This is how you get bigger. If you work out too soon you only re-tear the repair that was underway and that process sorta like starts over, so your gains aren't as great. You can work out everyday, just not the same group.

You need to give your muscles time to heal also. Try switching it up and letting them have a day off every now and then

No, your muscles need time to rest. Not doing so will make you more susceptible to injuries. Cycle what you work on every few days.
