Fit Tip: Be As Excited to Exercise As Your Dog Is
Early in the morning, my dog Bonnie is raring to go. She wakes me up with tons of licks, and paces coyly around the room until I pull my lazy bum out of bed. She can't wait to get outside, not only to "do her business," but to run and jump and chase and play.
Fit Tip: Get a Dog Exercise Buddy
Feel like you're not walking enough each day? Then you maybe want to get a dog.

I recently went to the Humane Society to donate some old blankets and I saw one very overweight pooch that was rescued from an elderly woman's home. She just kept feeding the doggy a ton of food, but wasn't able to take him out for long walks.
Tons of food + No exercise = Fat dog, not a positive equation.

Scientists at a food laboratory in Albany, NY found rat poison in the pet food they tested.
Unleash the Fury - Exercise With a Dog
Okay, so you want to start running but refuse to use a treadmill because you believe breathing in the fresh air is half the point of going for a run.
But you're also nervous about running alone (your neighborhood is not the greatest).
Ever consider getting a dog?
