For some people it might be, for others no.
Just listen to your body and take days off if you feel they are needed.

muscles, tendons and such need proper recovery time to get stronger. When you exercise a muscle intensely, it actually damages the muscle with micro tears. This is what causes the soreness. When the soreness goes away, it is time to exercise that muscle again. this means the muscle has repaired itself and gotten stronger. Failure to go through this recovery period will set you back on progression with that muscle group. Also this delayed onset muscle soreness can take 48 to 72hrs to appear. So don't always think the next day you are good.
Mix it up and do different muscle groups every day. As you progress, you should be able to increase the frequency. do not ever exercise a sore and tender muscle if possible. The one thing I like to do every day is jump rope for warm ups and also interval training, but it took a long time to be able to do that. Advance slowly and pay close attention to what your body is telling you.

Nope
I'd highly recommend increasing the push ups and sit ups gradually every time you do it even changing to another situp/abwork variation
Or
Do your push ups every other day and constantly increase, abs you can work every day, day off would be good though

ups. There are lots of variations on push ups as well. Hands together, hands far apart, hands shifted towards the waist. I like to do 5 sets of 20 each different variations.
