Can anyone tell me if it would hurt to do aerobics on my rest day? I havent done any since Fri. and overate a little to much yesterday so I wanted to do some aerobics today. Any input would be appreciated!! Thanks, Lori BC
 
while its good to take a rest day if you feel pretty good then go ahead and do some cardio. in fact a cardio workout doesn't have to be anything from a video or a machine maybe take the family for a nice walk. we are lucky to have hiking trails in our area that i try to take advantage of at least once a week. its peaceful and if you have alot of hills like we do its quite a workout.

I try to make my "rest" day on a day when I know I'll be active anyway, because I like to get in my 10,000 steps everyday. Tomorrow, for example, I know I would get in a lot of steps at work because of what is scheduled. I would not make a weekend day a "rest" day, because I'm a weekend couch potato. It's best to make a rest day a "non-aerobics" day, but not a "be a slug for 24 hours" day.

Did any of that make sense?
