We have a dog I take for daily walks... sun, clouds, rain, wind, snow, sleet, ice, freezing temperatures... you name it... we're out there. Does it help? I guess I've been doing it for so long I couldn't really say for sure. I certainly don't think it can hurt!
We change up the directions we take on our walks periodically. We're typically out walking for around 45 minutes or so at a shot. I do have to admit, though, that if I didn't have the dog to walk, it may be unlikely I'd be out there. He does get & keep me going. Thanks for the suggestion!
