Dog walking versus gym membership
We have blogged here before about dog owners being healthy, and to back this up, on the Telegraphs web site today it states that most dog owners are getting more exercise than somebody with a gym membership.
The experts that wrote this piece also state that the major difference in walking your dog versus going to the gym is that the later can feel like a chore whilst the majority of dog walks can be seen as enjoyable.
Another notable difference is that it’s easy to find an excuse not to go to the gym, but when you have a big pair of brown eyes staring up at you with the tail wagging, and the leash in mouth, it’s hard to say no.
And in case you needed more convincing, when out with your dog, you are enjoying the fresh air, and also maybe taking in some breath taking scenery, instead of being cooped up in an air conditioned environment, next to a sweaty old man who is wearing ill fitting shorts !
