When I was in my 20's and 30's, I used to work out 5-6 days a week. At 51, can't do it - I need more recovery time.
True, without a doubt. I always feel better after I take a couple days off, can lift more, more reps, etc.
I've gone to a three-day cycle with cardio one day, lower body/core the next, then upper body. Gives the muscles a chance to recover between workouts.
