Is it bad to work the same muscles two days in a row?


Question:
I know people say that you should wait 48 hours. But even when i work the same muscles two days in a row, i feel fine.

Answers:
You should at least wait every other day before working the same muscle group. Its not that you will feel bad but its that you want to rest those muscles so they can get stronger. You stretch them then they heal and get stronger. Also they can get accustomed to being stretched and you have to work them twice as hard to get them stronger. Working them out all the time hurts the strengthening process. Just work a different group out on the opposite days. Do your strength training one day and your cardio the next. Just rotate what your doing and you will be fine.
You have to give you muscles a chance to recover or they will get overworked. Eventually the will stop growing. Those torn muscle fibers has to recover to grow. http://www.makeoverfitness.com
I was told by a trainer that muscle is built during periods of rest, so it's best to work one set of muscles, then the next day work a different set. For instance, do cardio on Monday and then do upper body on Tuesday.
