I do my cardio on the treadmill 6 days a week, but when i want a day off I feel too guilty to not atleast walk a little while... Even though I don't get my heart rate up and sweat as much as I normally do should I still log the calories lost?

    Yes! Walking is what I put in the most. There are different speeds you can select from, so even if you're not pushing yourself you'll know what you're burning.
