I am just wondering if I should have a rest day in my walking regiment? I have started walking every day for at least 3 miles. Sometimes I am able to get 2 walks in:smile: I am just wondering if I should take one day off or would it be ok to walk 7 days a week?

Thanks for any input!!

    Walking? Every day.

    It's great exercise, but not at a high-enough intensity that you really need a rest day from it.

    My doctor told me to walk every day at least 30 min. or 2 miles my pick. Not to push hard everyday but walking is good for you. Your body does need a rest but if your walking depending on speed, etc. the you should be good.

    You will know if you need to take a rest day. Your legs with be heavy. You will be lethargic and cranky.

    If you are feeling good, keep on walking.
