For beginners, it’s generally better to exercise every other day rather than every day. This allows your body time to recover, which is crucial for building strength and endurance. Incorporating rest days helps prevent injury and keeps motivation high. Aim to create a routine that includes varied workouts, ensuring you enjoy the process. Remember, establishing lasting healthy habits is about consistency and balance, so find a rhythm that works for you and stick to it!

I think you should start with basics and do it everyday to build up consistency. And when you have like a little streak you can do it in a pattern of two days and a day off...or you can alternate between heavy and light workouts.
