Life has become so busy nowadays.
People are doing too many things, and everybody needs to remember what’s important in life.
An important example of this is health.
With all the things you need to do, you forget that you must keep yourself healthy.
Not only for yourself but also for your family, work and pets.
One of the essential factors to getting healthy is getting enough exercise.
The problem is, do you have the time?
Going to the gym takes a lot of effort and investment.
You have to pay monthly fees.
If possible, you also need a trainer to ensure you exercise correctly and safely.
Another thing is, do you have the time?
Going to the gym and coming home will eat a lot of hours.
And that is time away from your fur baby.
What should you do?
Just accept that you’ll never be healthy?
A simple solution is walking with your dog!
Walking has a lot of benefits for both of you.
It will:
- Lower Blood pressure.
- Enhance your cardiovascular fitness.
- Improve your muscles.
- Give you stronger bones.
- Stimulate you mentally.
- Increase the bond between you and your pet.
- Walking takes a little time.
All you need is to start with a daily 15-minute walk.
You can extend this to longer walks as you get fitter and if you have more time to do it.
It’s also flexible; you can do it anytime during the day.
Just make sure it’s not too hot or too cold to walk.
Choose a safe path.
Use a comfortable collar or harness.
You also need to bring water when they get thirsty.
Of course, it’s best to have your fur baby fully vaccinated.
It would be best if you have preventives against parasites.
These are ticks and fleas that they may get from the environment.
