Get Fit — Or Fido Will Also Likely Be Unfit
Many of us have a hard time taking care of ourselves. We carefully pack a lunch with a hearty grain bread sandwich, fruit, and carrots for Junior, and then grab a hot dog and cola for lunch for ourselves. We’ll remind our spouses and kids to get enough rest and exercise, while we stay up too late watching old movies on the sofa.
Need an extra incentive to get in shape? A study published in the journal Public Health Nutrition links obesity in us with obesity in our dogs! The researchers looked to see what individual factors explained this link. This obesity link couldn’t be explained by the gender or age of the owner or dog or how long the dog and owner had been together. What one factor explained this link? The amount of time the dog walked each day.
Remember — you and your dog are a TEAM. What helps one, helps the other. And even if you don’t think you’re worth taking that walk today, I bet you know Bailey’s worth a walk! So if you don’t want an overweight dog, get yourself Fit As Fido. It’s important for a healthy you AND a healthy Fido!
