Pets and exercise?



Recommended Posts

I have a 2 year old pit bull named Bella that is my baby, totally spoiled rotten.Ive recently started a committed 2 mile a day walking routine and dont always have a walk buddy to go with..So Bella has become my excercise pal! Shes always willing and excited to go and never makes excuses.lol This might sound funny but she helps keep me on track.Was wandering if anyone else has a four legged exercise pal?

We've got a pack of greyhounds so we usually take them in batches. Greys aren't endurance athletes so we don't even have to go a mile for them to be worn out. Between it being winter and my sciatica being off the charts horrible I haven't been able to walk near as much as I'd like. I try to walk "my" dogs when my leg allows it and my wife takes "her" dogs when she can. Works out fairly well. In the summer we'll sometimes round them all up and take them all at the same time. That's more for the amusement of seeing people's faces when you're walking 6-8 dogs (we're a foster home as well for our greyhound group so our numbers vary).

I have a black lab called Jasper and we spend a couple of hours a day walking across Salisbury Plain in England. It's hilly and vast so we both get plenty of exercise in. I have just had skin surgery and haven't walked outside for two weeks. I miss it !!!!

I do! One of the things that I always felt guilty about was how hard it was for me to walk either of my two dogs, Ramius (the handsome guy in my avatar) and Jasper (a shepherd mix). Now that I am in better shape, the both get about 2 miles a day in walks and are a lot healthier.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
