in Fitness and Exercise
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.
