She meant descansando.

Estoy descansando un rato antes de limpiar la casa.

The present progressive tense is frequently overused by learners of Spanish. If you aren't in the very process of resting, you should use the present tense instead.

Descanso un rato antes de limpiar la casa.
= I'm resting a bit before cleaning the house.
