Dog walking is great for your health. Studies have shown that people who regularly walk dogs may benefit from lower blood pressure, have a trimmer waistline and suffer from fewer chronic diseases. Dogs are a great accountability partner; keeping you active and on schedule.
How does it work?
Team-up with a canine companion, get moving and track your activity minutes through the Live Healthy Iowa website. Compete with others in your community or across the state as you improve your health and that of a furry friend.
Who is on a team?
The team for Strut Your Pup consists of you and your pet! For this challenge, you do not need to create a team of 2-10 individuals.
Participants receive:
- A dog-friendly incentive
- Weekly email with activity ideas and health tips for you and your dog
- Access to a personal tracking page on the LHI website
- Unlimited access to online recipes, workouts and health information
- Opportunity to win incentives and prizes
