I've been lifting weights every other day. If I did it every day, would it be too much?

Muscle grows at rest, so the rest days are essential for progress.

This is of course true, but the original poster didn't provide enough information. Also, overtraining is a real issue when people get older and very good results can be had by training every bodypart hard once a week, or even more infrequently.Muscle grows at rest, so the rest days are essential for progress.
I don't think this is true, unless you work out every muscle every time. If you only work out one or two body parts a day, as in many programs, the ones you don't work put will get plenty of days of rest.

My strength skyrocketed by doing this training program for a week: http://well.blogs.ny...e-workout/?_r=0.I deal with physical and other limitations that effect the amount and type of exercise I can do. I am trying to get my strength and fitness back. I can lift weights and my building has a weight room. I've been lifting weights every other day for about eight to eleven minutes. I don't do it to exhaustion and I do it more quickly than most because it keeps me from getting too sore. I'm lifting fairly light weights. I used to have to do this every other day because I would get too sore to do it every day. I'm feeling better lately so I'm thinking of increasing it to every day to become more fit. Other than that I swim lightly but I find the cold water fatiguing. I was thinking something land-based would be better.

The general consensus in the hardcore weightlifting comunity is that the muscle needs 48 hours of rest before it should be worked out again. Therefore, whether or not you can lift every day depends on the routine - if doing the same exercises or working the same muscle groups day after day, the answer is no. If the schedule allows 48 hours of rest, OK.
For example, when I was younger I would lift weights twice a day. I primarily did isolation exsercises which only focused on one muscle or set of muscles, but it was still designed so the individual muscles or muscle groups got 48 hours of rest before they were worked out again. For example - Monday am-biceps, Monday pm-quads. Tuesday am-triceps, Tuesday pm-back. Wednesday am-chest & shoulders, Wednesday pm-calves & hamstrings. Thursday-repeat.
Needless to say, after 8 years of that I was built like a tank and had to get all of my clothes custom made.
