I generally prefer strength training with free weights in the gym, but have experimented with a bit of everything over the years. I don't have a certain answer for you about training daily: I think if you do it right it's fine, but it depends on the person and intensity. However, with starting any new workout regimen the biggest risk in my opinion is over-planning, not over-training. People (especially when a new year is coming up) make workout regimes and worry about how often to train, how long to train for, over-training, whether they'll get too bulky, whatever. But most people do this before they even start doing the actual work and building the habit. It's just a waste of time and mental energy. I'm prone to this as well, since I _love_ reading about different schools of thought, exercise styles, schedules, etc. For now, I'd suggest not even worrying about overtraining. Just start training. Research the movement you're doing to make sure you do it with good technique, and listen to your body. If you're super sore the next day, maybe hold off and train something else or take a rest day. For the majority of people starting out over-training is not the issue: actually sticking to their workouts is.
