Your waistline’s best friend
December 14, 2009
I can see how walking a dog would be so much more enjoyable. I recently helped out a friend with walking her French bulldog, Monroe, for a couple of days when her regular walker was unavailable. He was so obedient that I didn’t even need to put all the tricks I’d learned from watching Cesar Millan into practice.
Each day, I spent over one hour walking him, not to mention having to fetch the ball when Monroe chose not to retrieve it (which was about half the time) so I figure I factored in bit of light jogging and forward bends into the “workout”, too. I was so enamoured with Monroe, though, that I didn’t even really notice. And exercise that’s so fun you don’t even realize you’re getting a workout? Love it.
