Is it okay to exercise and lose weight and take a day off a week?
No matter what exercise, you should have time to rest and recover! The same is true of weight loss exercise. Without rest, once the body is tired, it will affect the mood reduction, making the original boring weight loss exercise more difficult to adhere to. More importantly, a tired body is prone to injury, and immunity will decline, which is counterproductive.

Proper rest will not only reduce the effect, but also make the body and energy better devoted to the next exercise. Moreover, there is a principle of excessive recovery in exercise physiology, that is, to use adequate rest and recovery to improve the exercise effect. Sticking to exercise every day can't prove that you have perseverance, it can only show that you don't know the scientific exercise method. This kind of "perseverance" will ruin your health!

Therefore, according to your own situation and amount of exercise, you can take a rest 1-2 days a week, or you can take a continuous exercise rest every 2-3 days 1 day. But the days of rest and exercise must be regular, not long and short.
