Exercise everyday?

I have been working out about an hour to an hour and a half seven days a week. I am not sure if that is okay and lately I have been sore and kind of tired. Does anyone know how many days a week is okay to work out, am I shooting myself in the foot by working out everyday?

    Take a rest day your body needs time to repair itself. Example I don't hit the gym or the martial arts dojo on Monday's.

    I work out 6 days a week for an hour or so. I usually take Sunday off. However, I don't hesitate to take another day off, if my body is overly tired or I feel like I need another day off.

    i do 4-5 days a week for 1 hour.

    it works ok, and i get the weekend to relax and recover.

    i done that all last year, and i took a few weeks off over christmas, and that was really good for my body to recover.
