Best fitness plan ever!

My fitness plan is very easy, and (relatively) low cost:
1. Walk dogs daily ( the dog part is the expensive part of this fitness plan)
2. Use a pedometer to check number of steps (goal of 10000 steps a day)

Step 1 Necessary equipment:

Need dogs to walk. ..I have three willing candidates.

Dog equipment:
Leashes:   I found this nifty thing that lets me tether their leashes to my waist so that I can swing my arms and do other things.
Head collars for the ginormous and large dog so that I don't end up sledding involuntarily on my tush but actually walk normally. The medium size dog walks herself (very well behaved dog).

Person equipment:
Comfy shoes (doesn't have to be running shoes, sometimes I even walk in my Birkenstocks)
Cell phone (I text my daughter who is my accountability partner when I walk and I can take pictures too)
Pedometer (thing to count the number of steps I take)
Back pack for carrying stuff

Dogs make the best workout partners - they never want to watch TV instead of going outside for some smell-o-vision. And how can you say no to such a smiley dog like Cammie!

It took YEARS for my husband to let me have a dog. He kept saying, "You'll have to get up and walk it instead of hitting the snooze alarm" and I kept saying "That's the main reason for getting one".

Here in Texas our evening walks consist of laps inside Petsmart during the summer. We get up at 6 for the morning walk or bike ride, while it's only 80 out.

Look for Pretzel (also a shelter dog) in his jogging stroller in the new Pets Contest.

I live in Houston-- I walk in the early mornings or the evenings. I'll look for Pretzel. Haven't decided on whether to enter the pet contest (chew toys I make).

Thank you- he is a rescue, actually all three dogs are rescue/shelter dogs.
