My dogs do not let me get out of walking two miles everday. They have no concept of rain, snow, cold, etc. If I don't feel like going, they are worse than a spoiled kid and will pester me until I can't do a thing. If I turn around, they are behind me. If I stop suddenly, they bump into me. It's just easier to go and get it over. Then they will be content until it is time to go for their afternoon ride. Same song, different verse.
Since my sewing stuff and computer is upstairs, I am up and down the steps no less than 50 times a day. Between walking the dogs and the steps, I get all the exercise I want.
