Resolution: Get Healthy
Solution: Adopt a Rescue Dog!
Your next, best, training partner is at a shelter or rescue! In fact, a surveyin the “Year in Sport Trends“showed that 76% of Strava athletes with pets say their furry companions help get them out the door when they wouldn’t go otherwise – and that exercising with their pet is more fun.
Here are a few reasons why adopting a dog is a GREAT way to commit to fitness goal:
- Regular Exercise Routine: Adopting a dog encourages a consistent and regular exercise routine
- Accountability Partner: Dogs thrive on routine and look forward to their daily exercise.
- Stress Reduction and Mental Health: Interacting with a dog has been proven to reduce stress and increase feelings of happiness.
