- Q&A with the Coach. Our friend Bea writes in about her transformative training experience over the last year or so. She now trains every day, but is often questioned by well intentioned friends about whether or not this is a wise course of action. How much training is too much training? Can you train every day without over training?

You can train every day if you have the possibility and time. If you physically can't train one day it means you trained your muscles too hard some day before, but you could perhaps train something else than the usual things...
Mind and tongue are good muscles to train.
A lot of people have an all or nothing idea, plus don't take into account the differences in jobs. If you sit in an office and workout "everyday", it is different than someone who walks 5+ miles, lifts heavy objects needing more rest days. Because on your rest day, you're STILL working out.
But even then, 5 mins of shadow boxing after work, is some kind of trusting mixed with he fitness effects of work.
fMRI research has shown that visualisation lights up similar areas of the brain to actually performing the task, and so does watching people perform the tasks. You can't work your body every waking moment but you can mentally rehearse, analyse fight footage, read texts, etc.

I broke my left arm, had a six month recovery. Everybody was amazed I came out stronger, not realising I rest by practicing karate stances, my arms perfectly still, the least amount of movement causing immense pain. It was a great resting opportunity and training!
Yeah. This is how you develop *new* skills and resilience.
To personalize: I’m right-hand dominant - I lost functional use of my right arm/hand for about 16 months… it’s not like I’m a naturally ambidextrous person; but my left hand can do any gross motor function at least as well. Can’t write well, but… I’m only human, lol.
Imo, it’s as important to absolutely refuse helplessness, as it is to train and develop.
@@paulpolito2001
Yep. The mental side is as important as the physical one
I'm in my mid 30s and train daily. Doing judo, boxing and BJJ over 6 days. It depends how you train, dont go 100% you'll be risking injury. I have a rest day where I do aikido, for breathing and stretching
@@deltapi8859 I am thankful not to had any injuries. I would say most of my bumps and bruises come from BJJ, when rolling I had a partner grinding is elbow on my shin. I am quite fit and very active anyway, running cycling, swimming, weightlifting (light). Like Ramsey suggested I probably trained 60% to 70%, very rarely would I go above that, but as my fitness improved so has intensity i can train at.
@@deltapi8859 with BJJ I ain't afraid to tap out, I dont care what people think. I'm one of the smallest guys there, I dont let people crank my neck or grind on me. Just tap and roll with someone who isnt a complete 💩
Aikido for stretching and breathing techniques? That actually sounds fun I thought it was just bullshido throws and wrist locks.
I train everyday, but a lot of those days I just work very casually on technique. You don't have to go all out every time.
Yes!
This guy gets it
Factsss
I train everyday, and its I think its important to train smart when you do. if you train hard everyday it will be taxing on your body and eventually youll burn out, I usually throw a yoga session in as mid week training on a wednesday, it aids recovery and also is lighter than lifting or sparring etc. Nutrition plays a big part too, gotta get those protiens in
Alternative to the serpent 🐍 religion yoga you can get better results with bodyweight mobility flow, band mobility and strength stretching, kettlebell resilient material, ect.
@@carpejkdiem thanks bro, must try some of that out, ive been looking into bodyweight mobility flow recently, ido portals workouts seem cool
I’ve trained almost every day for over a decade. Usually averaging between two and six hours of training per day.
Training usually consists of: warmups, repetitive fundamental movements, an hour of whatever project I’m working on, breathing exercises and stretching. Lifting weights throughout the week. Sparring consistently.
Currently working through a palm technique from bagua as my project. That requires one hour of work, five days per week, for six months per palm. Totaling four years to complete the palm training to a usable level.
Also, I have students I’m teaching boxing, wrestling, bagua, and mantis kung fu to. So I need to be proficient in those things.
All while working a full time job (I teach for free). If lil ol me can get out there and train then so can you.
👍
You can always train mentally if you can not physically. Thinking about techniques, movements, combinations and other stuff for your training. Play them through in the mind how would you move, how will you feel it, what will you expect how your body will work. And next training session do it. Trianings mentally can help you get better in the actual physical training and thinking about training will activate your body and has an effect.
Can you train every single day?
Answer: Yes
- end of the video -
yes but actually yes or no...
@@strahinjatopalovic2540 That sentence made zero sense.
@@Kaledrone or ur just dumb, maybe both maybe neither
6:20 can confirm. I had surgery to my spine and have metal hooks throughout my back. I walked every single day to keep moving.
I took a few days off because it hurt really bad because my diaphragm was moving to a new location. it was harder to get up and walk again after not moving as much for two or three days. once I got walking it was reduced again.
My ground game sucks now lol but I still try
How did u get that injury? Or better hoe can i avoid it😅
Good luck friend
I train everyday I just don't train so hard that I dread or don't want to train the next day. rest and recovery is built in.
Improve Strength, Flexibility, and Technique throughout the days/week. Very sound advice. Much appreciated Ramsey. ✌️
Always train in Allways! 🌿
You have a kickass voice.
Thanks
i wonder how many of the friends are not even well intention are ashamed of the amount or lack thereof of training they do and somehow her training regiment produces that shame feeling in themselves
Get out there and train. Your words motivate me everytime
Active recovery helps a lot. Between mobility, specific drilling, and walking theres tons of stuff you can do everyday to get blood flowing where it needs to
I trained 6days per week 3hrs Mon to Friday &4h on Saturday Monday karate,Tuesday vale tudo, wensday BBJ,Friday kickboxing ,Saturday putting it all together and sparing
Thanks coach!
Hey Ramsey, just out of interest, do you do open mat sessions at your gym? I train BJJ across town but would like to pop in some time and roll with some different folks if that’s at all possible.
There’s a secret BJJ open mat for higher belts on Thursdays at noon. Shhhhhh! You didn’t hear it from me.
@@RamseyDewey haha, mum’s the word- but unfortunately I fail on both fronts, I’m only a blue belt and regular work gets in the way of lunchtime strangulation. Might try and pop in the next time there’s a holiday though! 👍
And on the seventh day . The Ramsey rested
I can't train the very intense everyday.
I do my most intense on Monday, then hiit minimum then step count Tuesday to Sunday.
It's not fast result, but it gets me where I want.
Breath work step count HIIT. Tuesday to Sunday
Breathwork whole body workout to 1-3 rep max on Monday.
Very very very not hard to do if you don't compete.
Cant explain enough how great i feel when watching your channel . No matter the subject, always a thoughtful and well spoken treat.
I take 2 rest days. Train other days twice a day. On my rest days I do extra flexibility training and that’s all. I guess do what works for you. I was doing 6 days 1 rest day but for me 2 rest days helps me more. Nothing wrong with training every day, but for me I need to rest the mind too ❤
I do karate and love it 😍
There's many different types of athletic courses aside from combat sports. Rock climbing builds forearms, swimmers have disproportionate shoulders, joggers have well developed calves and knees while cyclist have developed calves and glutes. So if you wanted to those 4 disciplines could be accessories to your daily training.
Well developed knees? Patella gains lol
I've enjoyed learning the speedbag and double end bag. Both mostly self taught with some TH-cam video assistance. I've been able to walk to and from work most work days which is about an hr 1way. And I'm a server so I'm moving around a lot as well.
I don't have kids, but when I visit family, I play with my niece a lot whose only 5 now, and I pick her up and swing her around, etc. Her weight is just enough to be play and be a workout at the same time. And she loves it.
Getting back to a martial arts class has been tricky cuz the places I used to go to closed down, and the ones that are available are either expensive currently, or a little far. I mostly train at a fitness center, solo. Definitely been able do different things each time. Big weights, small weights, strike bags, tires, sleds, bosu, etc. I love training, but sometimes classes make it more fun.
Thank you for this excellent advice, Coach Ramsey! I needed to hear this from you.
About 3 months ago, I started training 4 to 5 days per week in Goju Karate, but recently I added extra personal training days, and now the only day I do not train much is on Friday. The 1st two months I felt destroyed by each weekend, but in the 3rd month, my body finally adapted, and I am more motivated to train on the weekends as well, and I will continue to train like this for as long as I can.
I never miss a DAILY workout...
Every day!!!
That voice is velvet, though. I enjoy your sage wisdom, your tone is a welcome bonus.
There are a bunch of exercises that you can definitely do every single day, like situps, pushups, squats, jogging/cycling/swimming. I used to do that when I worked security and got into martial arts/self defense. Those were the healthiest 5 years of my life. Half an hour of situps, pushups and squats(combined, not each), riding my bike to work (10km, made it a time attack every single day when it wasn't frozen over, and yes, I also rode my bike at negative 25C) and then to the dojo twice a week. Also had a set of 44lbs dumbbels at home that I regularly picked up (I still have those hidden somewhere in the cellar). Somehow when I moved and switched professions, I dropped this habit, which is kind of sad. It was easier when I was single, because I had my yoga mat right next to the bed and when the alarm rang, I just dropped onto it and did the calisthenics - now there's just no room in the bedroom for a mat
Great trick i saw on the huberman podcast: cool down the palms of your hands, forehead too if necessary, between sets or on explanation breaks in martial arts classes. Tried it out last week, starting out after a break from capoeira training. It's incredible. You are fresher, can do more, and the Best part, no DOMS. Don't get me wrong, u still feel tired, but almost no soreness, just the mellow tiredness. I use a washcloth, wet it, and hang it somewhere close to my training position in the gym, and whenever we get a 10-30s break i get it and cool my hands and forehead
Well said, even training to relax with your hands up while you move and feint is important. Just because it’s not intense doesn’t mean it’s not worthy. Great video sir
Hi Ramsey, thank you so much for answering my question and thanks for the support, I really appreciate 😊🙏 I've gotten used to the hard training in muay thai and in boxing but now I'm combining it with other things that feel less demanding, less brutal and I think I've found a good balance and that's why I can go on, day in and day out. I love to train and for me it's always a pleasure to grind 😅. I take a day off when I feel that my body wants me to stop ( but I still do some stretching exercises and because I live in the Netherlands, I'm always on my bike😉). I'm happy with your answer, probably because it makes sense to me😅 Keep the nice videos coming, they're always great to listen to/watch. I'll keep watching too! Btw, I like how you sign the 6, liù 🤙 Without noticing it, you're showing where you live, just like that 😁👊
Hey Ramsey, long time viewer first time commenter.
Just wondering, what are your thoughts on the Filipino kick boxing art YawYan and Mongolian Bökh?
I'm not ramsey and know nothing of Yawyan but Bokh is a pretty solid jacket wrestling style which has also proven a great base for Mongolian sumo and Judo fighters
Yeah, trying to do a weekend warrior routine after a sedentary work week is asking for injury. You can't make up for a long stretches of inactivity by amping up the infrequent bouts of activity. That's why your advice to do something every day (smartly) makes so much sense. It prevents the degradation in the level of activity that you would otherwise be able to sustain. As you said, so long as you rotate to avoid overtaxing one aspect of training, or one body part. Even something that doesn't require exertion, like flexibility stretching -- better to do what you can routinely rather than try extra hard to make up for quite a few days of neglect, and messing up a joint/muscle.
I train every morning (boxing) i work in a kitchen after so alot of moving around and heat. I drink over a gallon of water and eat my weight in pounds to grams of protein. No matter how hard i train in the mornings i can get my self back to the gym the next day (as long as im not injured) and i feel like its the way i use my job as active recovery, i do yoga and lightly shadow box in the bathroom on my 10 minute breaks
On a rest day, keep it light, like footwork, go for a long walk(the fresh air and change of scenery will do wonders for your body and mind). And watch and study videos of the great masters and any videos of your fights/sparring sessions.
Exactly what Ramsey said.
You cannot max every single day on the same thing (Even Bugez would max DIFFERENT GROUPS when he was maxing basically every day).
Your load to needs to be conversely equal to your amount of recovery. For some people, that means a small amount of consistent work for a week and then a big day of stretching/loose cardio/good environment. For others, that might be a couple days of heavy stuff and the day or two of more active movement and perhaps different muscle groups. Regardless, what you put in has to be matched by how much you recover.
Otherwise, all pain no gain.
Training needs to be built up progressionally. Not only do you build your body up to handling higher and heavier loads (whatever that may be), but you also become more efficient at doing those movements, which allows you to do more than before
So when my grandpa died he was 89 years of age. The way he died was he broke his leg one day on a big plot of land he was trying to turn into a ranch(which he was successful in doing) well he was bed ridden for months after that. In that time he veins and arteries began to calcify which gave him low blood pressure which ultimately killed him. Lesson to learn here is never stop move, cause when you do, you die.
I feel pride in knowing that my body is so accustomed to training that the hardest part of training is actually starting it... and I feel shame every time I skip my planned workout of the day lol. My body can handle 7 days of training but my mind is not disciplined enough :l
you can focus on wrestling monday then judo Tuesday and bjj on Wednesday then ufc 4 on Thursday and Friday and boxing on Saturday and muay thai Sunday
You need to be mindful of what muscles you're working out and giving those muscles time to recover. The more stress you put on the muscle the more time you need to give it to recover. It's more intuitive than a science because everyone is different and that means everyone needs to listen to their own body.
Jocko Willink had a similar philosophy. He says never take a day off, cause life will do that for you. Kids are sick, car broke down, friend needs help, etc. so everyday you should do something. Bag work, stretching, rolling whatever you feel like doing that day.

Great to see you in my morning feed again, Coach.
I've been training and working out for over twelve years now. Competed in Basketball and Karate (lol) in university, then I competed in Olympic Weightlifting for 4 years, I did a few sprint-triathlons, and now I've been doing BJJ tournaments and Kickboxing tournaments for a few months (trained for a year and a half before started competing). This ENTIRE TIME I've seen best results training 5 days/week. Training 6 days/week has generally been counter-productive after a couple of weeks. But no matter what, I have never successfully trained 7 days/week. Everybody is different man, only you can answer this question.
I love martial arts but I do not train every single day. Well, I do have light trainings on some days especially rest days. But it's also because I have other hobbies outside of just martial arts. I do 3D modeling, drawing, learn French, and I love to read about history. And I am also very passionate in those other things that I do.
And just something trivial but training in martial arts did make me better at art. Because martial arts thought me to see things in different perspectives like seeing every potential angle that my opponent would strike. Martial arts also did kinda taught me about human anatomy and physics of attacks. These knowledge are very handy in visual arts. My first martial arts instructor who was also my former classmate is also good in drawing (he's one of the best artists in our class).
Maan I love training every day: I feel better knitted and fresh all the time, I even do better time scheduling than training every other day! Even though, that one day of rest a week is kinda important (at least from time to time).
a doctor will say broken leg keep off it till it heals
Ramsey Dewey but rehabilitation walk on it
me working out i will let my body rest and not over do it
GSP's head coach has touched on this saying that his fighters train less intensely everyday, and that because of that they get nearly 365 training sessions a year, while most other fighters train more intensely and only get about half the training sessions. Though he does say that changes during fight camps, where they push the fighters much harder to prepare them.
I do some boxing and weight training and I use your videos to fall asleep at night.
Im 40 and still train every day. But not high intensity every day. Yoga or walk on light day. And as u said, different things each day.
Play with ur kids that part hit me. I haven't been doing enough with them lately.
I train for half an hour every single day; 20 minutes of hiit / stretching & mobility drills on alternate days, and 10 minutes of pad work, shadow kickboxing, or limited sparring (one armed / legged me vs my untrained sister) every single day. I've progressed more in the last year doing this than I had attending 2 days a week of karate classes for half a dozen years.
What an awesome video. Thank you Ramsey!
So my coach at the school is a CrossFit trainer so when we do workouts, he pushes ur body way to much u come back over sore on ur whole body, and got kickboxing/muay Thai class afterwards so I pushed my body way to much and barley had time hydrate in class so remember to do things properly and be consistent
You can, not the same muscle groups as recovery is needed to be efficient. One way is doing Pull, Push, Legs/abs workout, although I am getting back to calisthenics and changed my routine a little bit.
Thank you for this vid Ramsey. I came back to karate this year and I have recently added MMA to my training, and working on my strength, trying not to mix up the days, cause I have a ton of injuries, and I can't do all of them at once. Although there's been some overlapping days and I have survived so far but not something to do every day. There should be discharge weeks as well, a topic you could perhaps touch some day if you have not done so already.
This reminds me of Firas Zahabi’s “it’s not reps in a workout. It’s reps in a week.”
as a martial artist with insomnia your voice has double the power
One day of biking +jump rope + technique
One day of street workout and some lifting.
One day of heavy bag + Sparring
7 days a week.
Works like a charm for me !
Catchy title. In the midst of my first morning scroll through my phone, It almost looked like I had a instant message from ya
You can't train HIIT every day, but you can certainly do some technical drills daily. Or low intensity workouts such as a light jog.
i think you can train every day! i depends on intensity and "the Body is a whole Universe"...and in this Universe there is alot of space where you can go and train...for example:one on day a train with Partners,going one on one or two on two etc...On the other day i hone my skills...For me i do regular stuff very slow,little effort to see if my technique is on point...after that i can accelerate the speed!and on the next day i do muscle training,jumping on one leg,dribbling with my NON-dominant hand etc...SO JES training every day is possible,a good thing aslo for self awareness!(because when you stress your body sometimes,you can guess when it breaks or gives up)..IT is good to know your own limits,then you can overcome them...LG roman from austria
Great advice 🤘 I love how you talked about periodization in regards to training. My personal practice is to match my martial arts focus with my muscle groups worked out for the day. So on a leg day, I'll focus on kicking or on a chest/back day, I'll concentrate on punches & elbows 😄
Also, I find it funny that people use your voice as some sort of "ASMR" to help them sleep 😆
Well said my friend. Keep moving. Motion is lotion.
I salut to You, to have to explain basic, obvious things to people. Time after time. As my training partner , who took world cup of deadlift , once, and became a trainer, told “ you cant imagine , how tired i am, to show proper squats , to same idiots every day.
Awesome awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm gonna try that sleeping technique you explained
🤣😁🙂
His voice indeed is relaxing though 🙂👍
I'm an older guy who works out every day (almost). And I gotta tell ya, for both spiritual and physical reasons, I take off one day per week, and it really helps. Even God took off one day a week.
Great video... the other half of training is recovering from training to allow us to train more frequently.
Good solid advice as usual. 👍
get up and go up and down the steps till it burns :)
I used to max out on the squat evey day for like half a year. And guess what - I didnt broke. Infact I increased my max with 40kg. Our bodies are for more durable and adaptable than we can imagine.
I did the same thing. Similar results- but more importantly, my squat form got so much better.
@@RamseyDewey Awesome ! And yeah, as you have said many times before - technique is an efficient use of strength. With lifting is the same - the best form allows you to move more weight
I have this nervous tick where I hit and kick walls and hard surfaces, I recently found out when sparring Muay Thai for the first time that lightly kicking my shins on rocks really conditions them
Yeah I remeber when I do my martial arts training there are day when I get sore but I still train but it’s at a different intensity. So if my muscle are sore from striking, grappling, strength and flexibility. I would do long shadow boxing rounds or technical work for striking. And I feel better and the next day I don’t notice any soreness.
So if you train every day it about different intensity allowing you to work hard then work lite to ease the body.
In my opinion and experince any way
Yrs, but not in the same way. Remember, stretching is also training, and can be fun.
Hello Ramsey can you make a Video on mat returns please? Also Hello coach 👍
Another one?
I train each movement pattern once a week with weights, early in the morning. In the evenings I usually do BJJ 4 nights a week and striking one evening.
Well of course it's possible to train every day....just be a train driver or just live in one/stay over night in one, like some commuter does.
You can rest your body, but train your mind!
The only way you may make your heart grow, after age of 30, is by two sessions a day. You don’t need to be a pro, you need to be living your art/sport. When i sleep, i deep breath , and still cultivate . Proper breathing . Proper posture , for decades. thats what makes you a martial artist .
Yet again a very informative and on the point video, Ramsey, thanks a lot!
Considering "resting" means to do absolutely nothing at all is the equivalent to "gaining mass" by eating fast food all day long lol :D
Idk I can work out every day
Cant do martial arts every single day just because it's set up in a club setting and I cant spar
But pretty much do calisthenics every day
As long as you keep your level below the muscle tare level you dont really need a recov day except once in a while when you really push and feel "the pump"
Been training so long if I don't get some functional motion going on every day I feel bound up never believed it but being muscle bound has some truth to it
What would you propose to someone that wants to train everyday but the gym environment encourages fighting for 30-40% of a training session?
Hey Ramsey, have you watched the bioneer?
He is a beast
Lots of good quality stuff there
No.
@@RamseyDewey I recommend you to watch some of his videos, a lot of sports science
It is kosher to do vital exercises on Saturday.
I train my right arm everyday, like 4 or 5 times per day
MEV>IndividualCapacity
Get out there and train Yes Sir I love it
I work out every day, but most days, my workout is just walking, and occasional jogging.
Gsp coach has a great look on this Firas Zhabi or something like that
hi coach!
i have a problem that has been stuck with me from a while. every single time i walk on the street i become worried and ready for someone to jump me
i live in a fairly dangerous place in north africa and i have a taekwondo background and now im kickboxing
i dont train to fight people in the street.i just get out there and train.
what i want to do is how i get rid of that annoying feeling that makes me want to take a knife with me wherever i go
sorry for the long question!
Mr Dewey. As a 51 year old who loves his boxing / muay Thai training I can tell ya that I only have 2 very hard days 2 medium/ light days And 3 off or my body dies on me ! for more than 30 years I did 6 days a week. Those days are gone Do a bit of Yoga now. It helps a lot 👍
Well, i can, twice and three times. A day. If i am lucky . But , obviously , those who think, strong legs are not an advantage in boxing, those cant
I just need to get very good at mma cause i cant live with the idea of trained women being able to beat me in a fight, so i will try to train mma 2 hours a day for 1 year and do 3 hours a week weightlifting too cause i cant leave weights behind
Well…visualization training is pretty easy on the body. You could do that every day.
Does home practice count as training? Cause I usually go to my martial arts class three times a week, and do rounds in the heavy bag the other days.
Hey Ramsey! I absolutely love your videos. Just started taking muay thai classes (7 weeks now). I already watched your take on whether to mix sports but I was wondering if I added bjj maybe twice a week will that help me get better at it. I heard that it is a lot harder to develop and therefore requires more time and I don't want to be that guy who trains every now and then and never really progresses. Would be great if you could help me
Of course that would help.
you can train different aspects every day and every hour
