Is it safe to exercise everyday with weight lifting?

Yes, but: It's generally better to vary your workouts from day to day so that you don't target the same muscle groups in back-to-back days. This allows adequate rest for muscles to repair and may improve over strength gains while limiting risk for overuse injuries

Moderation: Working out on a daily basis can be beneficial to your health. The benefits are: better energy level, improve your mood, control your weight, improve your sleep and libido. However, performing wrong exercises or overexercising can result in burnout and harm. If you're newbie, consider hiring a personal trainer. He can assess your fitness level and tailor a customized workout regiment for you.

Remember : Like for any form of exercise, it's good to have a day off here and there. While you could lift everyday, you would need to avoiding lifting the same muscle groups too frequently during the week as this will otherwise set you up for over training syndrome and injuries.
