Out of shape? You might have a perfect fitness coach under your own roof.
A University of Victoria researcher is looking into the Health benefits of dog-walking.
UVic researcher Ryan Rhodes is looking for 100 people to participate in a study on dog-walking as exercise. His previous work determined that people with dogs get twice as many walks in as non-dog-walkers.
No kidding, eh? People who walk their dogs tend to walk more often that people who don’t walk their dogs (or, presumably, who don’t own dogs they could otherwise walk).
We are paying people to tell us this?
