Cardio-vascular exercise routine tip #1
Meet my favorite blonde Mavrick, who is over a year old. He is a very energetic golden Labrador Retriever puppy.
He isn't really my dog and I don't spend a lot of time with him. When I do, he can walk your butt off. He loves the outdoors no matter what the weather is like outside, that's where he wants to be. The other nice thing about being outside with a dog besides the fresh air is that you can always find someone who will take a picture of you with your favorite walking partner.
Denise Austin, the fitness guru states that you don't have to commit to an intense exercise program to see results. By taking your dog for a walk just 30 minutes a day, you'll burn more than 43,500 calories-and lose more than 12 pounds a year.
With this knowledge you can see why your pooch can be man's or woman's best friend.
Mavrick likes the beach, so sometimes he gets to go to Nantasket Beach down to the water's edge after beach season and to the boardwalk area during beach season.
Most dogs like water so watch out, during the winter months they might just jump in. That will kill your walking workout quickly.
If you live in Massachusetts and spend time on the south shore there are plenty of places to take Fido or Max to for a good long walk. You can also go cross country skiing and snow shoeing there as well.
One of the places where Me and Mavrick have been to is the Whitney and Thayer Woods on route 3A in Cohasset and Hingham, MA. dogs are welcome there!

Oh yeah, I've lost 10 pounds as of March 1st 2009!
Who's walking who?
