Ideally your muscle needs to fully recover before the next workout. If you want to train the muscle daily you'll need some pretty low impact workout routines.

A good rule of thumb is that if you cannot lift more (weight or reps) than you did at the last workout, then your muscles have not yet recovered fully and you need to allow more time between workouts (nutrition and rest aside) or lower the intensity of your workouts.

I don't know of any serious fitness trainer or bodybuilder or anyone of that nature that trains the same muscle groups every day. Usually, it's advised to wait at least 48 hours before training that muscle group again. But hey, you can break it down that way, and focus harder on different muscle groups each day, like devoting one day to just your legs, another to just your chest and back, etc.

You can surely weight train every day...but not the same muscle group.

Here's a sample schedule:

Monday: Chest / Triceps
Tuesday: Back / Biceps
Wed: Legs / Shoulders
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Chest / Triceps
Sat: Back / Biceps
Sun: Rest
Monday: Legs / Shoulders

See the cyclical nature of this workout. Your working out almost every day but not the same muscle groups. In addition, note that due to the cycle, no week is ever the same. The first week you did Chest and Triceps on Monday and the next you were doing Legs and Shoulders.

Agreed. I'm doing something similar, except that I leave my Sunday free to other than fitness actiites (running, bicycling, trekking, etc). Works fine so far - more than 2 months.
