Rest Days

[jharris]

Just wondering do you take a scheduled rest day every week? I ask because I'm on vacation for the next nine days and would like to try and exercise everyday.

Yes, I do. While I'm sure it's good for my body, I've noticed it's a nice mental break too. One day off, and I'm ready to jump back in.

Yes, I take a rest day every week, and I definitely schedule it into my rotations. Sometimes I take two, depedning on how I'm feeling, but I always schedule one per week.

I take a rest day (almost) every week. Every once in a while I skip it and it's okay but I can't do that too often or I will eventually end up paying for it. If you are going on vacation for 9 days and want to work out every day I think that would be fine. Just make sure you rest before you leave and as soon as you come back! JMHO though and everyone is different! Some folks around here only take them on an "as needed" basis and it works out fine for them!

Thank you for all the responses. My vacation is staycation. I'm staying home with no strenous plans. I usually exercise 4-5 days a week. I will see hiw it goes and if I feel I need a break I will definetly take one.

Oooh, staycation! I can see why you want to exercise every day, I would too! My rest days are often taking a walk at a slower pace than usual, and doing some Stretch Max or yoga. Just a suggestion for making the most of your time at home. Have fun!
