Walk that Dog

A recent study by the American College of Sports Medicine found that dogs owners are fitter than their dog-free counterparts and that people who walk their dogs are fitter than those who don’t. Not exactly shocking. But what I found surprising is that the study’s dog owners (in Baltimore and Seattle) spent an average of only 25 minutes per week walking their dogs and that 30 percent spent no time walking their dogs. These are the sort of results that make big pharma salivate.
