href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/calisthenic-strength-training\/\">calisthenics workout<\/a> plan is 3-4 days per week. This allows for enough rest and recovery time in between workouts to prevent overtraining and injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it&#8217;s important to listen to your body and adjust the frequency accordingly. If you feel excessively sore or fatigued, take an extra rest day or two before you resume your workouts. On the other hand, if you feel you can handle more, you can add an extra day of training or increase the intensity of your existing workouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_a_5-Day_Split_Too_Much\"><\/span><b>Is a 5-Day Split Too Much?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 5-day split may sound like a lot, especially for beginners.
