Day 6 of the September Slim Down Active Rest Day Fitness and health are not all about work and no play, so today do an activity with a friend or family member that you enjoy and that is active. Take a hike, go for a walk/run/rollerblade on the boardwalk, play tennis, rock climb. As much as I love teaching fitness classes and working out I need days like this too. They are good for the body and good for the soul and keep you motivated to stick to your workouts. Comment below your activity.

Hopefully you already know the importance of rest days and take them regularly. Some runners need several rest days a week, while others can get by with just one.

Working out is important to our overall health. But we sometimes forget that giving ourselves days off is good too. Here's why rest days are important.
