Nothing is betterthan spending time outdoors with man’s (or woman’s) best friend. Additionally you can also meet many interesting people and have something to talk to  them about.
Dog Walking is an exercise that anybody can do.  What’s superb about it is that you can do it unaccompanied  or with  a friend. If you do not have a friend, the dog supplies great company. It’s simple to do, and needs no special equipment, apart from a dog, a lead and relaxing shoes. It is also free, in fact you can make money out of it. In addition it can be done anywhere, anytime, even in London dog walking is popular.
Dog walking has multiple benefits. Since it burns calories, it is a weight loss aid. One hour of dog walking (you as well) will use between 200 and 300 calories, depending on your mass. The heavier you are, the more calories you use. Walking does not stress your limbs, unlike running, which can injure your joints and bones.
In fact it actually helps the knees. The dead of dog walking encourages cartilage growth and the flow of synovial fluid within the knee. It also builds the muscles that protect the knee.
Because dog walking is weight-bearing it also aids strengthens the muscles that shield the hips. At the same time it strengthens bones therefore reducing the likelihood of bone splintering due to osteoporosis. By strengthening the main muscles of the spine and abdomen, dog walking helps reduce the probability of getting low back pain.
The increased exertion needed for dog walking helps the heart to pump more strongly. This helps reduce blood pressure with the resultant reduced risk for stroke and heart attack.
Dog walking increases the respiratory rate (breathing rate), promotes increased flow of oxygen to the rest of the body and also helps eliminate the build up of carbon dioxide. A major plus for you and the dog is improved energy.
Studies show that exercise such as dog walking increases endorphin production which helps reduce pain, decreases serum cortisol levels which helps relieve anxiety (as does having animals around, so an additional), and may also decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
So how do I {kick off with} start dog walking.
Pretty simple. The first thing is to make sure you have a good pair of walking shoes. If you suffer from flat feet, you should use orthotics.
Do not try to do too much at the very beginning. You should gradually increase the amount you walk. A great objective is 10,000 steps per day, which is approximately 5 miles. If that seems like a lot, note, most individuals already walk about 3,000 to 5,000 steps a day during the course of a normal day. Please note that many dogs, who evolved from wolves still have the same behaviours, require to walk over 5 miles a day. Most have the strength for fifteen or more miles a day.
Depending on your fitness, you can start from low levels. Only one problem, No dog. Not a problem, enquire around, there are many individuals who are time starved and don’t have ~ enough time for walking their dog. Increasingly, during this credit crunch period, dogs are being given to into pet charities, so either volunteer for dog walking or why not re-house a dog.
Strapped for cash, why not earn money by helping out people who do not have time for dog walking and looking after their pets such as London Pet Sitting and London Cat Sitting.
What speed for your dog walking will depend on you and your dog. Start cautiously. A medium rate,  you can walk up to about 2-3 miles an hour. A good rule of thumb is that you should be breathing faster and feel your heart rate going up but still be able talk comfortably. You need to ensure that the dog is not pulling you, its not good for him and it is more tiring for you.
Remember, it’s important to keep up your dog walking routine, for both your weight loss and the dog(s)! Enjoy it and lose some weight!
