So from that respect, there should be nothing wrong with training every day. However, your body needs recovery time: days with no training. It needs to recharge, so from that respect it's not good to train every day. If you only have 30 minutes to work out in one day, remember one thing. If you're training by yourself, 30-45 minutes is enough to complete a full workout (example: chest, triceps... calves would push you towards the 45min mark).

Also, give your self at least one day completely off from exercise - Why? cause your body needs time to repair and rebuild. Cheers

dougvega Posts: 27 Joined: 2000/12/05	2000/12/30, 07:06 PM my problem is that most of the time I can't pack 2 workouts on a single session and I want to give a muscle group the proper attention so my workout is productive
