You already know the importance of exercising. Yet too many people take this to mean that they need to work out extremely hard day after day. That's just nonsense. The fact is that your muscles won't grow or get stronger if you don't give them time to rest. Your muscles don't grow as you are working them and tearing them down during exercise, but only through rest and recuperation.
You would do well to workout hard for a single day and then follow that with an easy workout. For instance, do a full body workout on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. You can then go easier on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays by going for a brisk walk or by doing some pushups or pull-ups. You've probably been told to get plenty of exercise on a regular basis. This often gets repeated because it is true. It's important to be active regularly. The body needs to move regularly. Movement on a regular basis keeps your energy level built up. Use your muscles regularly to avoid becoming unable to those things. Keep your vessels open, organs functioning an blood pumping with exercise. You don't exercise because you want to be ripped (though some do). Exercise because you want to be healthy.
