Oh well that's poop2 -
I always start my training on Sunday. Second week of a new program. Hypertrophy squats, Power Bench, and some heavy *kitten* hip thrusts. You'd be surprised how long these 3 lifts take me to finish lol.0

I was just joking about my reply in that some people will automatically assume that no rest days = overtraining when that's not necessarily the case.
Depends entirely on how the program is structured.0 -

Ops! Quoted the wrong person!
Rest days are needed. Fact.0 -

I don't lift everyday, but if you include cardio...nope, no rest day. Not usually anyway. Maybe one every three or 4 weeks. That being said, a moderate paced, 20-30 mile bike ride seems pretty restful to me.0 -

Rest days are probably a good idea for most people.
However it's possible to structure a program in such a way that someone could train daily.2 -

I typically do, because I can't bring myself to do it after aside from my walk home from the gym. Which that in itself can feel like death after a hard workout haha.

Rest day. I am arthritic so these are essential to me. That said, I may do something very light like stretching-focused yoga on a rest day if I feel the desire to do some sort of body work.0
