The gait analysis was pretty eye-opening though. I found out that if I had been raised with some sports and exercise in my life, I would have made a pretty good sprinter, because my form in fast running was naturally the best between slow walk, fast walk, slow run (jog) and fast run. Oh well. Maybe I can work up to that too.<br /><br />As for hands-free leashes, I found one by Fusion Pets K9 Hands Free Fitness pack that comes with waist attachment, stretchy leash, water bowl, harness, bag for storing the kit, and a little S-shaped carabiner. It is on a mad sale, so I may just have to get it and try it out. :)Aleksandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09390279240340009509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455640680454914217.post-48526465911034196532015-06-13T17:11:04.265-07:002015-06-13T17:11:04.265-07:00Good for you!

I love listening to music while I'm walking, though when I hike I prefer to just listen to nature. When I'm running I always tell myself that no matter how slow I go, I am still lapping everyone on the couch. (Saw that quote on a poster and thought it was awesome) This helps when I am slowly jogging down the beach and someone powerwalks past me.<br /><br />For hands-free leashes, I really like the Ruffwear Roamer because it is stretchy and versatile. Ollydog's Mt. Tam leash is similar, stretchy and goes around your waist. Dr. Sophia Yin uses The Buddy System leash in all her videos, that one has an adjustable length but isn't stretchy. I just saw a Hurtta leash at Petco recently that is worn on your hand like a fingerless glove so you can push a baby stroller while holding it.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11615884781628013542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455640680454914217.post-41148470682255730822015-06-12T22:42:00.325-07:002015-06-12T22:42:00.325-07:00This is such a great exercise plan, Rachel! I just...This is such a great exercise plan, Rachel! I just went and got a gait analysis done today and for now, I am only supposed to walk... No running yet as my heart and lungs won't take it. I am in pretty bad shape. However, I can walk a lot, and I should. So this is what Bruno and I will be doing a bunch. Also, light hiking. We have a small hill here in my area known as Kennesaw Mountain that is hikeable. We have other hikeable hills known as mountains that we will work on. So walking is our best friend for the few months to come. Do you have recommendations on waist leashes or any other leashes that do not need to be hand-held? <br /><br />Thanks!Aleksandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09390279240340009509noreply@blogger.com
