We are so sad that we are heading home after this incredible journey and a very dog friendly road trip! It has been 2 weeks of swimming, hiking, relaxing and fighting for the front seat!

During our dog walk, taking a break at work, while cooking dinner, etc. Well 2 minutes is all you need to get this lower body exercise in: Step 1: Set a timer for 1 minute.
