    I've taken a long walk (2.5+ miles) 6/7 days this week. My legs are a little sore, but it's just because I'm not used to it... if my feet started to seriously hurt I would take a break, but unless you are experiencing severe pain somewhere, go for it!!

    Working out 7 days a week is fine.
    As time goes on Motivation, Mental / Physical effects or the impact this may have around friends,family,kids,work etc may be issues to consider.
    If it gives you a sense of wellbeing and doesnt impact on the most important things in your life, go 4 it

    Scheduling strategic rest days is part of continuous physical improvement. It also gives your mind a break to revitalize.

    I'm working out 7 days per week/EVERYDAY, but it's moderate to light working out. I'm doing outside walking at least 30 minutes per day and usually 45 minutes to 1 hour going about 2.5-3.0mph (leisurely walking and dog walking pace). As well as moderate stretching for about 5+ minutes everyday

    *6 days per week I'll also include 10-20 minutes of my stationary bike and/or treadmill
    *5 days per week doing a Leslie Sansone Walk Away The Pounds dvds (my favorite is Walk Strong) 30 minutes of brisk walking
    *3-4 days per week I'll do 10 minutes or so of light-moderate rowing with 10lb weights on my home gym machine
    *1-2 days per week I'll do 10-20 minutes light to moderate upper and lower body weight lifting (w/10lb weights) on my home gym machine.

    I don't do ALL of these things one after another...but thru the day. My mind, body and soul loves this and it's something I'll continue to do for the rest of my life along with eating to live, rather than living to eat and I'm seeing and most importantly, feeling fabulous results!
