But here\u2019s a partner that won\u2019t: your dog. More than 52 percent of dogs in the U.S. are overweight or obese, according to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention\u2019s 2012 National Pet Obesity Survey. Compare that to the stats for their owners: About one-third of Americans are obese, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control.<\/p>\n<p>Your dog is a perfect workout partner because they will ALWAYS want to be with you and it is tough to say NO to a pup\u2019s wagging tail of excitement when you pull out their leash. Well, canine owners are more likely to exercise regularly and to be fitter and healthier than their pooch-free peers. New research from Michigan State University reports that people with canine companions are 34 percent more likely to get the recommended 150 minutes of exercise a week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/sammy.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5776 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/24154516\/sammy-80x77.jpg\"  alt=\"sammy\"  width=\"750\"  height=\"720\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"  data-pk-src=\"http:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/sammy.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/24154516\/sammy.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/24154516\/sammy-300x288.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/24154516\/sammy-380x365.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/24154516\/sammy-80x77.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/24154516\/sammy-620x595.jpg 620w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you think about it, dog owners often log in double workouts\u2013they don\u2019t see taking the dog out as a sweat session, so they still go to the gym and lift. But don\u2019t discount those walks. If you keep a moderate pace, you can burn up to 68 calories in 20 minutes. If you walk your dog for 20 minutes five days a week for a year you can lose an average of 14 pounds. Throw in some high-energy games of chase, tug-of-war, and Frisbee and you\u2019ll help your metabolism even more.<\/p>\n<p>You will never find anyone who loves to exercise more than a dog, and that enthusiasm can be contagious. A dog is always ready and willing to go. Plus, unlike a neighbor or your most dependable friend, an always eager pup never cancels on you at the last minute, complains about being tired, or backs down from rain.<\/p>\n<p>Have a race goal? You\u2019ve just found your coach. Dogs are creatures of habit, and they\u2019ll help you stick to a training plan.<\/p>\n<p>Once your pup gets into the routine of a morning run, you won\u2019t need an alarm clock\u2013the wet nose in your face will work. And his steady tempo can also make you a great running partner.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t have a dog? You can still get in some canine workouts: Volunteer to run or walk a pound puppy (find a shelter at aspca.org). Organizations always need good volunteers and those pups need to burn off that energy too and because the animals are able to release some of their pent-up energy, they show better to prospective adopters and are taken into good homes faster. Talk about exercise rewards.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/fiona.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5777 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/24154519\/fiona-80x107.jpg\"  alt=\"fiona\"  width=\"720\"  height=\"960\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\"  data-pk-src=\"http:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/fiona.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/24154519\/fiona.jpg 720w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/24154519\/fiona-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/24154519\/fiona-380x507.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/24154519\/fiona-80x107.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/24154519\/fiona-60x80.jpg 60w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/health-and-fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/24154519\/fiona-620x827.jpg 620w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Working out with your dog doesn\u2019t just benefit your health, though.
