To improve our health, one of the best things we can do is to get more exercise and to lose weight. Making changes to our lifestyle can seem daunting at first, and it is a big commitment. Experts often recommend having a friend to partner you in your exercise regime, so that you can motivate each other. Sadly, temptation will also be a problem for your friend. Your exercise routine may become less of a priority when a lie in is on the cards. I have a solution: imagine an exercise partner who never skips a session. A pet dog.
Why not combine your own health with pet health? You should be walking regularly if you have a dog anyway. But there’s always room for improvement. I understand the temptation of the shortest of walks twice a day is hard to resist. In our country we’re lucky enough never to be far from a park or some countryside. There are so many super places for dog walks. The countryside is more inspiring than the number 30 bus route.
Both you and your dog will feel great after country walks. Exercise lifts the mood, for people and animals. It’ll also help you in your quest to lose those last few pounds. It’s a great way to enjoy your dog’s company, and to get some much needed tranquillity. And it won’t cost you a penny.
Pet health and your health are vitally important. So too is the relationship you share with your dog. What better way to look after each other than to exercise more together?
