Benji dog is not just a lovable companion but through forcing me into regular walks is actually helping me get a little cardiovascular boost, along with some fresh air and sun. Before the pooch came along I would spend way too much time locked inside. He doesn’t realize it but he is good for my health as well as my mood

Hi Chris,
I spend way too long in front of the computer some days and since making the switch from working out of home to working at home I’ve added a few extra pounds.
I’m fortunate that I have a six year-old daughter who keeps me active and also my Springer Spaniel, Lily, who has now become a huge part of my get-fit regime.
Mixed with the long walks I’ve just started half-an-hour plus runs 3 x a week. Without Lily I think the motivation would probably wane but it’s fun jogging with my furry friend.
Regards,
Karl
