Day of rest?

I am doing a program right now that gives me one "rest" day each week.
Do you take a rest day? I was thinking about just walking... not sure though.

    I take one day for a rest day. It's usually Sundays for me. I count it as a rest day, but I may do some light to moderate cleaning, or light walking. I try no to push myself and really relax on my rest day. Believe it or not, it actually helps me mentally prepare for Mondays! LOL

    I take two days off from exercise every week.

    I take two days off a week as well. Always Sunday, and usually Friday. Depending on how hard your workouts are, you need a rest day to recover or use that day to do some really light workouts.

    I am trying to run every day (28 days in a row now). Two or three of those days a week are at a slower pace for recovery.
