Mom is in Weight Watchers. She just got a heart rate monitor and started interval training. Guess who's her trainer? We go on dog walks and I have her up to her target heart range before we're out of the driveway. When we started we tried running to increase her heart rate and I loved it. Then she found out the walk back up the hill was much more taxing so now we walk down the hill for 5 minutes, then up the hill for 5 minutes. She lost 4 pounds this week. I love the surprise when we change direction. I occasionally slow her heart rate when my hound nose must be satisfied. Our new issue is I AM FIT AND TRIM. Since I'm a Lab and Bassett Mom has always watched my diet and I am at my ideal weight. What's going to happened when I'm sweating off the pounds doing interval training??????? I think this is a good chance to talk Mom into increasing my portion.
