If you don't work out intensely, should you still rest for a day?

[Ceep It Real...]

i heard that if you work one group of muscles one day, you should give them a day off to rebuild and come back stronger or what not...

but if you just do a light workout, nothin too serious, can you do that everyday and see results?

Possibly. However I'm still a firm believer in one muscle group a week; regardless of the intensity. Too many factors come into play when your dealing with recovery (diet, sleep, health condition, stress levels, and most importantly genetics). Your better off playing it safe to avoid overtraining.
