Is it better to exercise every day, or is a rest day absolutely necessary?
2026.05.13 17:55
I’ve set up a workout routine lately and am trying to stick to it, but I’m debating whether I should do it every day or if I absolutely need to take rest days in between.
At first, I was so motivated that I wanted to do it every day, but people around me say that rest days are essential for muscle recovery. However, I'm actually more worried that if I take a day off, the momentum will be broken and I'll end up stopping altogether…
Especially if the goal is weight loss, I feel like doing it every day might be more effective, but on the other hand, I'm confused because I've heard that if you overdo it, your body might swell or you won't lose weight.
I'm curious how those of you who consistently work out at the gym or at home set up your routines.
I would like to know how many times a week you exercise, whether you take a complete rest on your days off or move around at least lightly, and what changes you experienced in your body or weight when doing so.
It would be really helpful if those of you who have maintained your exercise routine for a long time could share your tips or the methods that helped you keep it going. 🙏

- 03CommentsRecording meals and monitoring exercise levels... those are important points. I think checking long-term changes is the most important thing.190026.10.29
- 01CommentsBelly fat is a really stubborn area that is difficult to lose, so it is a concern for many people. You can manage it more effectively by combining abdominal exercises with dietary control. Rather than trying to lose weight quickly, try consistently controlling your dinner diet and doing light cardio exercises. I hope you stay strong and look forward to seeing gradual changes!6674226.10.14
- 02CommentsInstead of drastic dietary restrictions, try compromising by cutting your favorite delivery food into 'half portions' or having a 'cheat day' once a week.1082026.10.27
- 03CommentsIf you have joint problems, rather than pushing yourself to walk or run, it would be good to start with exercises that place less strain on the joints, such as swimming or aqua aerobics. It is also fine to start with an indoor bicycle lightly within a pain-free range. Since diet management is also important for weight loss, avoid increasing the intensity of your workouts too much and try to find a way to exercise consistently. If the pain persists, it is advisable to identify the cause first.773026.10.17

- 02CommentsI recommend consuming a small amount of 100% freeze-dried products made from natural ingredients without added seasonings, rather than commercially available seasoned products. Since seasonings contain high levels of sugar and sodium that can stimulate appetite, chewing slowly and in small portions of additive-free products will be very helpful in satisfying your craving for texture.1704126.10.10
- 03CommentsIt’s not easy for me to check every single ingredient list when choosing things, so I tend to buy the ones I eat often. If I had to check everything while selecting, grocery shopping would be a hassle.2924226.10.14
