What's the Right Physical Training Frequency?

As controversial as what physical training methods to use is the topic of physical training frequency.

A few years back, while attending a gym and going to my Aikido dojo very regularly, my knees began to give me problems again. Due to my past weight issues, and my push my body until it breaks’ attitude I have blown both knees out a few times over the years.
