Rest days between exercises are key to muscle recovery and growth!! Also I would recommend researching DOMS (I gave this to myself when I started my workout journey by doing too much too soon 🫠). Ultimately try to listen to your body!

you should be giving yourself like at the v least 1-2 days in between working out specific muscle groups for recovery, it’s ok to feel sore but too much is counterproductive.

also if you feel sore for like a week then you are prob doing a bit too much at one time, so gradually build it up
