I'm currently training (almost) every day. I don't do hardcore bodyweight exercises everyday, but instead do "softer" bodyweight movements such as Prasara Yoga and mobility drills. The key to proper recovery and success with bodyweight training is to alternate between periods of high and low intensity training.
So here's a sample breakdown of a 5-day per week routine where you cycle through intensity days:
Day One: High Intensity
Day Two: Moderate Intensity
Day Three: Low Intensity
Day Four: High Intensity
Day Five: Low Intensity
On the high intensity days, you perform some sort of interval or circuit training with bodyweight training. Interval training is where you perform an exercise for a short period of time (usually 20-60 seconds), then rest for period of time (usually 10-20 seconds).
Circuit training is where you perform a handfull of exercises back to back with little to no rest in between each set. When you combine the two techniques, you get Interval Circuit Training, which is simply performing exercises back to back in a circuit fashion.
But instead of counting repetitions, you just perform that particular exercise for a given time frame. This is one of the easiest and most effective ways of putting together a fat loss bodyweight training program. Let me give you a sample workout to get you started:
Perform 5 rounds of:
Spinal Rock Hip Snaps, 30 seconds
Quad Squat, 30 seconds
Tripod Switch, 30 seconds
Jump Squat, 30 seconds
Now, as I mentioned earlier, right after a high intensity day you want to do a moderate intensity day. Prasara Yoga is your best option. This is because Prasara Yoga is just relaxing enough, yet can be a very difficult workout if done properly.
