In most circumstances yes, although there may be occasions when you are too ill. Adjust the exercise to your commitments, if you are away with work you might need to find a shorter routine you can do in your hotel room. On holiday there maybe more fun ways to exercise like swimming, canoeing, climbing etc. I like to do the 7 minute workout everyday as a minimum and ideally a 30 minute run after.

I think you should be doing something active everyday, it doesn’t have to be specifically exercise. If you’re active for work for example you might not need to exercise so it might differ day to day.

If you have the energy but it’s advised to alternate between low intensity workouts (stretching etc) and strenuous exercise, or using a split programme in the gym

If you feel like you’re in a place to do that sure! However, you need to vary the kind of workouts you pursue as well as give yourself a break every now and then. For example, I like to go back and forth between cardio and weights everyday. It gives time for my muscles to heal while also lowering my bmi. When my week is up, I allow myself one day to rest entirely. Allow yourself to heal, then get back to the gym.

No, I don’t think you should exercise everyday! Unless you’re a body builder 😂, if not than don’t exercise everyday, because you need rest. Now if you want to exercise everyday have a least one or two days off!

No. I tolerate skipping a day of exercise when I really need to do something or when I simply don’t wan to. But I just let myself do that once or twice a month. I don’t want to get off track when it comes to skipping exercise.

I do and I feel great for doing so. Even my rest days are active. I may not do the gym work, but I’ll do yoga, go for a long walk or something like that.

While it may be nice to think that we’re invincible, it is important to take breaks every so often to allow our body to recover. Just as we meditate to relax our mind our body must also relax. Take the weekend off, or spend a friday night with some friends. You’ve worked hard all week and deserve a break <3

Yes you should exercise everyday because it can come with so many benefits. Such as losing weight, building muscle, and strengthening organ system especially the heart

Yes, exercising every day is great for you! I know it has improved my mood and I feel healthier too. Now that doesn’t mean you have to work out to your limits everyday but some form of activity such as stretching and walking are great for recovery days. Something that doesn’t push you to hard but gets your blood flowing.
