Can I do interval training every day?

Or six days a week? In trying to get to the gym as much as possible and have found exercise even in my mid 40s really helps me lose weight and be less anxious

If you're talking about running, I wouldn't run every day. I'd run for 3-4 days and do something else on the other days. (I run 4 days a week and do other lower-impact cardio on M/W/F so I don't over-stress my joints.) I probably also personally wouldn't do high-impact intervals more than a couple days a week - even when I'm training for a race, I only do speedwork once a week and other types of running (hills, long run, trail) the other days.

If you're talking about weight-lifting, I wouldn't exercise the same body parts every day - I would rotate between the body parts so that muscles can recover from the microscopic tears that lifting causes.
