I think eating before an exercise is a bad idea.... And rest is the key

[anetanovakova]

Thanks! I wasn't sure about how long I should wait betweet workouts

[GrimChikao]

I workout hard Monday-Thursday and rest Friday-Sunday

Hey doc, is it ok to do push ups everyday? Or we need to have a 1-day rest for that too in a week? cheers

[whitecunt]

ive heard from the web that for beginner, you need 3 days of rest rather than 2 days of rest. is it correct?

[superdonchw]

what do you think if it takes 3 or 4 days to erase the damage to your body to recover completely maybe that is a sign that you are over training and maybe instead you should reduce your weight in the workout so you can do it every other day witch way do you think would be better for growth ?

is it the same amount of time for a 71 year old as a 35 year old ? I feel the sorest after 2 days, & feel OK on the 3rd day>

Does hypochlondria or low stomach acid cause bad breath and defficient energy ???

What about rest from 1 exercise to another exercise, I mean like from squat to leg press? I am still confuse

[koreaindahou]

I only rest when I feel like my muscles are sore but if they feel good even after an intense work out, I'll work out again the next day. It's that okay? For some reason if I don't feel sore, I don't think I worked out hard enough.

Is it true that we can do cardio everyday but rest after weight training?

[dsouzaronald]

I'm giving alternate day for rest, but now I think of giving 2 days rest in between workouts.

[michealbeers]

...you didn't address rest requirements for people in different age groups. I know for a fact men in their 20's recover faster than men in their 50's....  How much rest between work out days for each age group?

[capricornwolf]

What if you feel a muscle group is rested, no soreness, after say 20 hours? Can you do it again?

[AwwDaSea]

Is it good to work out Monday-Saturday 1 hr a day? I'm working out 2 different kinds of muscles a day. Like Chest and back one day and the other day shoulders and legs...

[rojasharaf]
