My Favorite Way to Exercise and More!

Welcome to my weekend blog hop -
Make My Saturday Sweet #84!

My favorite way to exercise is taking the dog for a walk. I'm really not a very brave person when it comes to exercise. I like my comforts more. Usually, if one of Amanda's older siblings join me, then it becomes a great way to have a little one-on-one time and to chat about whatever. All of Amanda's siblings are teenagers.

The photos below are of a recent walk that I took with Amanda and our dog, Benny. You can click on the images to view them larger.

Love those photos of Amanda walking you dog and sounds like perfect exercise to me. I am with you and not a very sporty person, but do try to do some physical and cardio as I have time. I love walking the dog though and a total perk of owning a dog. Thanks for joining us and have linked with you, as always, too. Have a wonderful weekend now, too :)

Thanks for the link up! I always remember having such great bonding times when my mom and I would go for walks together. Seems like its such an easy time to really talk.

Thanks, Anna! We are actually having winter now in South Africa. Wishing you a lovely summer in the northern hemisphere!

Lovely photographs, had a dog for 13 years, but when she died I didn't feel I could go through that again...now feeling like the time is right to get another.

Thanks, Fashion-Mommy! Yes, dogs and most pets are special companions. I hope you find the right one at the right time.

Those photos are gorgeous - you live in a really lovely area, huh?
Thanks so much for linking up with FTSF this week!

Thanks! I tried twice to leave a comment on your hilarious post about kids giving you a great work-out. Here's the comment: Hahaha! That is so true! But the stress that comes with kids doesn't add to the healthy lifestyle. That's why I wasn't ready for baby #4, but Amanda has been such a blessing to all of us that I can't imagine how we would have gotten along without her. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment on Amanda's Books and More!

Thank you for the heads up nudge that I need to get out of this chair and get outside with Poppy our border collie cross. She's been patiently waiting for her walk since dawn. Ouch. Love your photos - am visiting from FTSF and it was a treat to pop by.
It's so cold here at the moment but I really do need to find the time to get outside more. We have a long weekend here in Perth so might need to rug up and set out for a picnic for starters.

I have a crazy poodle who I love to walk, looking at your mountains I reckon you could do quite a bit of cardio if you wanted, who needs a gym?!

My recent post Bali yoga searching for inner peace!
Wow, what beautiful scenery! My favourite exercise is walking too - I don't have a dog any more sadly, but I try to go out with the pram weather permitting! x
My recent post DIY High Contrast Baby Flashcards
My favorite is taking my toddler for a stroll! I used to walk my dog 3 times a day (before work, after work, before bedtime) when I still live in the US, but here in Indonesia I don't have a dog.

Thanks for linking, Rosey! I just visited your post. The Summer Brain Games sounds like a wonderful thing to do with your kids. I'm so glad you guys are able to take part. Wishing you a wonderful week!
My recent post A Sweet 16 and #WW Linky!
I'm still amazed at the mountain views you have! And I can see what you mean about you having a green yard because of good sprinklers. It's interesting how distinct the yards are, green or brown and nothing in between.
