Ever since I started back with MFP back in early September of last year, I really haven't done intentional rest days. I have missed a few days due to travel/time constraints or not feeling well after my booster jab. But even in those cases, I did try to get some walking in. My Jazzercise workout are designed such that if I wanted to take it easier, I could. My New Year's goal was to walk outdoors every day in some form - whether 1/2 mile or longer. Combined together, I can hit my target of 600 active calories on my Apple Watch ring. The streaks and badges on my Apple Fitness app keep me motivated and I don't want to break that motivation.6 -

Exercise yes
Tracking and calories yes
My rest days tend to be weekends and snow days. I still walk at least 10,000 steps but that’s all for exercise4 -
Yes x3
So I tend to do yoga or walking for rest days. I feel a bit rubbish if I don't move my body at all. I'm a teacher and so on my feet all day. As long as I reach my 10000 steps I'll count that as an active day. I feel so sorry for people who have office Jobs. It must be so much harder to be active.3 -

I find this feels especially true for me since working from home!
My commute from bed to desk is so few steps, whereas when I was in the office I had to walk to the car, from my parkade to my office, and so on.
Not to mention just the steps around the office to go see other humans, a longer walk to the kitchen for lunch, meetings on other floors, etc.
The biggest thing doing an office job and working from home for me is making sure I spend my lunch hour outside on a long walk as that usually takes care of about half my daily 10K step goal.
When I can pace during meetings where I'm not on camera, I will. Or I'll be intentional about going downstairs to quickly chat with my husband instead of IM'ing.
Before I started paying attention, the numbers were dismal. I am going to try some fun strategies when I return to office, like taking the stairs (I'm now on the 8th floor), going to see coworkers in person, walking meetings whenever possible, and hopefully using a standing desk for periods of the day.5 -

I go day by day - I don’t think I exert myself on any given day enough to require a rest day. But I don’t beat myself up if I get one - it’s usually because I’m running errands and have no time for a set workout.

thanks to those of you giving pointers on the app … very helpful especially since I’ll be traveling the last week if the month and be using the app.
I’m not much of an app person as i prefer the large screen of the mac as well as a real keyboard … obviously i’m not one of the 😎 kids
