Dogs - Hiker's Best Friends

By Merv Carlson


Being a dog owner doesn't only bring you a more ecstatic life, but also a healthier one. There is an exhaustive variety of outdoor activities that can be done together with your dog, in order to improve your physical fitness and health. It's understandable that during winter you choose to stay mostly indoors, but when the warmer weather is back again, you can start hiking and doing outdoor activities with your dog. If you really enjoy the pleasant temperatures, the beauty of the surroundings, you will be more motivated to exercise. There are a lot of fun and healthy activities for you and your loving pet, and we picked some of the best.

Walking Many people choose walking as part of their daily activities. With a good pair of shoes, you can do walking activity everyday. Walking is a simple exercise and can be done by people of all ages. You need at least 30 minutes of walking per day. Walking is simple yet effective in helping you reduce the risks of suffering from heart disease, type 2 diabetes, asthma and even some cancers. You will be more interested in regular walking by having your loving pet dog as your companion. Walking is also good for your pet dog's physical health.

Jogging Jogging with your loving pet is excellent for your lungs and heart's health, being an activity that improves your stamina. The secret is to start gradually and to increase your distance or time by maximum 10% a week. Going faster with the process isn't bad for your lungs or heart, but for your muscles and joints, and you can develop medical problems. So get the perfect pair of running shoes and a good sports bra, if you're a woman, and start improving your fitness and health form alongside the company of your dog.

Hiking It is believed that hiking makes you happier and healthier. If you are a nature lover, you'll enjoy what hiking brings. Hiking requires minimal equipment. You'll need only a good pair of shoes and it's even better if you have your dog as a companion. Hiking frees you from daily stress, reduces depression and provides you with better quality sleep. Before hiking with your dog, you should make sure you carry the needed equipment. Most hikers will take a backpack to carry water, hiking boots and also the dog shoes when they decide to hike with their dogs. Like jogging, you should start small first.

Water Sports Most dogs love water. If you live near a beach or a lake, you'll definitely have fun moments playing water sports with your dogs. Surfing is a water sport you can let your dog play with you. However dog surfing requires training. If your dog can not surf, take him to go swimming with you.
