MIM: New directions on your dog walk

Mixing up your direction on your daily dog walk is a GREAT way to use muscles in a whole new way.  Watch the video to get some ideas on how you can mix up your daily dog walk!

• Walking backwards:  find an area where there is nothing that you can trip on, a sidewalk or path works great!  Turn around and take long strides, squeeze your butt as you walk or run backwards.  This will open up the hip flexors in the front of your leg that get tight from walking AND it will work your butt! If you can find an incline, that is even better!
• Side Shuffles:  You can side shuffle while walking or you can pick up the pace and get your heart rate up a bit!  Side shuffles will work the sides of your legs.  You can even add little squats on each shuffle!
