Engage Your Pet Physically

If you have a dog or two and complain that you just can’t think of how to lose weight at home I have only one thing to say to you. Are you nuts? Hello… Take the dog for a walk! (For the love of…)

Walking Is The Best Exercise

Here’s a news alert: you can burn up to 250 calories by walking your dog for 1 hour. Of course how many calories you burn depends on a number of factors. It depends on your body weight, the pace at which you walk, if you’re walking down, uphill or flat… And so on. And don’t forget to go to the dog park and build up those arm muscles with a little tug of war or throwing a stick or a ball around for your four legged exercise partner.

Get Yourself A Pedometer

If you can manage to walk your dog daily (stop whining about the weather and do it… The dog doesn’t care why do you?), wearing a pedometer while you’re walking will serve you in a number of ways. Walking a dog is also the answer to how to build muscle and lose fat… All at the same time. It takes muscle to walk; particularly if you walk briskly (which many of us will need to do to keep up with dog).

Get up off the couch and take your dogs for a walk. The dog certainly isn’t going to complain.
