Increasing our physical activity levels and losing weight are two of the best things we can do for our health.Making changes to our lifestyle can seem daunting at first, and it is a big commitment. It’s a good idea to have a friend as exercise partner so that you can motivate each other.But a friend is prone to temptation just like you are. Perhaps the temptation of a lie in will be too much for them to resist and your exercise routine might slip down the priorities list. I have a solution: imagine an exercise partner who never skips a session. A pet dog.

You can easily combine your health with pet pet health. Those of you who already have a dog should be walking him every day anyway. But you can always do more.It’s easy to fall into the trap of a short walk morning and night, but what else could you do.We’re lucky in Britain that even in the cities we’re never really that far from a park or some countryside. There are so many super places for dog walks.You’ll find the countryside much more inspiring than suburbia.

Long country walks will do you and your canine friend good. Exercise improves the mood of both people and animals. It’ll also help you in your quest to lose those last few pounds. You could also take advantage of the time walking to enjoy your dog’s company, or your fmaily’s if they come with you, or even get some peace.Another advantage is that days out walking your dog won’t cost you a penny.

Pet health and your health are so very important. So is your bond with your pet.What better way to look after each other than to exercise more together?
