Is it okay to take a break day? Welcome to walking is fitness. This is a podcast of action,

providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness promise you made to yourself.

Hi, I'm Dave. I've been walking for fitness since 2013, averaging about 21,000 steps a day. I'm walking

right now and I'd love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes. Pretty cool thing before

I left the house for this walk. I was out on the back porch enjoying a cup of coffee. Pre-sunrise,

the sky is still dark. And I look up in the sky and see the international

space station, which I think is just one of the coolest things ever. My wife, on the other hand,

not so much. Every time she's available, I say, hey, hey, you want to see the space station?

She's like, no. But if, however, you are wired more like me and you would like to see the

space station, NASA actually has a website that will tell you when you can see the space station

at precisely what time.

And again, it's just a white dot that is moving.

But there are people in that white dot.

And you can go to spotthe station.nassad.gov.

Type in your location, and it'll tell you precisely when the space station will be flying over your location. I'll also have a

link in the show notes if you're interested. So Cindy posted recently on the Start Today Facebook group

that she was having a challenging day for a couple of reasons, doesn't specify what they are,

and because of that, she wanted to give herself a break day. Again, she's not specific

about a break from what, but considering that the Start Today Facebook group is all about walking

for fitness, made the assumption, pretty easy assumption that she has a commitment to walk every day.

She wanted to give herself a break because it was a really challenging day for a couple of reasons.

So is it okay to take a break?
