[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it works it works! I’m not sure it impacts my sleep but it makes my whole day better. It’s really, really good for your body.

there’s nothing risky about doing it every day. Just alternate muscle groups if you are lifting heavy or alternate exercises.  the only times I really feel like I need to rest is if I’m very sore because my trainer kicked my but. The few times I’ve injured myself were due to bad form.

I’m not lifting heavy yet — I did a bit before I got pregnant but I’m back at bodyweight stuff. I guess a better way of phrasing my question would be, is the advice to skip days to do with the most effective way of building strength or to do with avoiding injury? Because at least right now, I don’t really care if I’m increasing my performance optimally — I just want that sweet sweet “I worked out” feeling. [/quote]

I think as long as you are mixing up the types of exercises you are fine! And not pushing yourself really hard. The times I hurt myself were due to new exercises or too much repetition. Also even if you tweak something you’ll recover. Running is probably far more likely to result in injury.

I like to mix up my home workouts with strength, flexibility and a little burst of tabata intervals at the end on an exercise bike. (The Assault Bike - it’s amazing. None of this peloton stuff.) Variety is key. [/quote]
