| Re: How much exercise does an adult need?
Weather is a big factor, for us. Generally speaking we like to get 1.5-2 miles 1-2x daily, just walking. We add a few trot burts, and do some hiking when we get free time. Swimming is also an option. We like some variation to our routine of just walking. This summer, I want to try biking as well.
Dogs may differ a bit. Rotties are fairly hardy, athletes and enjoy getting out with you, anytime! To keep them in shape, generally? I'd think one or two 20-30 minute walks daily would do for the average pet.
