Interesting story about Exercise and Pets

Check out this interesting story about some perks to exercising with you pet!

One up-and-coming trend combines man and beast for a program that helps people and their pets get fit together. There's even a medical study to show it can work.

In a 12-month study, experts at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago demonstrated that both people and pets were more successful in staying with a weight loss program when they did it together. (Besides, you know how Fido hates to go to the gym alone!)

Both the people and their pets were placed on a balanced, low-calorie diet and given a 30-minute moderate activity plan to do together, three times a week. When compared to dogs only and people only, the combined people-pet group lost the most weight -- the people, an average of about 11 pounds, the dogs, about 12 pounds.
