Depends if your splitting your workout or doing a full body workout.
If your doing a full body workout, every other day is too much, 3 days per week is good enough.
If your doing a split, every other day or every day is fine, like this:
Monday:Legs
Tuesday:Chest
Wednesday:Back
Thursday:Shoulders
Friday:Arms
Whichever one you do, make sure you have at least 48 hours of rest between workouts for your muscles to rebuild.
Depends how serious you want to get. Generally you need to train at least 2 days a week. Optimal should be 3-4, unless you want to become a body builder. You need to do at least 8-10 different exercises, but avoid training the same muscle groups on consecutive days. As long as you have at least 1 days rest between muscle groups you should be ok otherwise you’ll be at risk of muscle damage.
