Human: I want to lift weights every day. Is this a good idea?

Assistant: The research on exercise and weightlifting is pretty strong, especially since it’s been collected over such a long time period.  The more recent and qualitative reviews are mixed, and people do caution against high-intensity workouts every day.  This is because it’s possible to “overtrain” and become burned out.  The most important thing is that you choose workouts that fit within your general energy levels and endurance.  Since this is based on anecdotal experience, I’d just want to emphasize that there isn’t any research that says exercise is bad for you.
