Fast Fitness: Getting Fit with Your Pet
Sometimes we need an outside force to motivate us to do what is right for us. With fitness, the best motivation may be to help those who can’t help themselves — our pets. I recently came across this heartwarming CNN story of a dog and his owner finding each other and tackling the weight loss challenge together. It highlights several benefits of working out with your pet:
- Our pets are relying on us to keep them healthy. It’s a lot harder to skip your daily walks when they’re relying on you for them.
- They provide the emotional support needed to push through. Even if you’re not feeling your best, there is something about our pets that gives us a boost.
- Just having them around has physical benefits. Research shows they lower blood pressure.
Just in case you needed yet another reason to love your pet!
