Signs you've been lazy

For the past several years, I've been taking my dog on long walks and runs. The concrete wears down her nails, so I never have to clip any except her dews.

This month, I noticed that I will need to clip the nails on her front paws. I gave up running after getting heat stroke twice this summer, and I couldn't bring myself to exchange it for walking more. I tried kickboxing, which I LOVED but my work schedule was too unstable for me to go regularly. I took up yoga again, which I really enjoy, but it's not as good a calorie-burning workout for me.

Need to be less lazy! I'm not going to get heat stroke in the Northeast in December!!!

Sounds like a lot of excuses. You need to drink more in the heat.

Get back out there and get MOVING!

Consistency is key. If it's hot, drink more and dress accordingly. But don't stop!

The dog still needs walks
You can also exercise indoors

I always run before the sun comes up during the week or at dawn on the weekends. I know it won't help the dog but when it gets really hot with high humidity in the summer I get on a bicycle and ride. Still a good workout but the added breeze combined with the ability to carry cool water helps keep me going.

I understand. Since it's been cold in Colorado I've been awful about walking my doggy. But I made a promise to him any day that it's over 30 ill take him for a walk.

Please tell me the doggy responded, because that would be awesome.
