Exercising with your Dog

My good friend always sends me everything she sees about dogs which is great because then I can share with everyone on here.  She send me this article yesterday about exercising with your dogs.  I am sure I am not the only person who made a New Years Resolution to start working out more so this couldn't have come at a better time.  The article is from the Huffinton Post and here is the link 5 Ways to Exercise with your Dog.

They have some great ideas but I think my favorite one would have to be  skijor.  I have never heard of this until now, but it looks like it would be SO much fun.  If only we would get some snow over here in Ohio.  Skijor is an amalgam of cross-country skiing and mushing, in which a person cross-country skis with a dog harnessed to him. The team effort -- the dog pulls forward while the person uses skis and polls to keep momentum going -- results in great distance and speed.
