Is Dog Walking Good For Cellulite Reduction?

Do Dog Walks Help get Your Dog Healthy?
This is an incredibly unscientific discovery. Based on data of 1 person - Me!
At the time of this writing, I am 46 1/2 years old and about 5 years ago, I noticed more cellulite appearing on my thighs and stomach.
Not that cellulite is bad or something we need to eradicate or combat - it was just something I noticed.
Age, I thought. Oh well!
Then I got my dog.
And I walked my dog.
Pretty much every single day, we walk. Sage and I usually walk between 1-3 miles a day over one or two walks.
When I initially adopted Sage - that first year (pre-pandemic), I would take her to my office with me and it was important she was exercised before then so she would nap most of the day.
We walked, we leash trained. I bought more jogging shorts. Acquired a fanny pack.
We walk.
And then I noticed that cellulite visibility had backed off. In all areas.
My completely uneducated-on-human-anatomy-and-skin theory is the steady, concentrated walking simply keeps your muscles somewhat taut and tight. Probably sitting against the skin, firmly, so the skinโs appearance is smoother.
Beyond that - exercise is essential for your dog. ESSENTIAL. If you are not able to exercise your dog, please do not get a dog. Also... exercise is essential for US. Humans need to exercise, as well - for physical and mental health.
So, when you walk your dog - you are getting exercise, your dog is getting exercise, you are both getting the mental stimulation of the world around you as you walk - sights, sounds, smells, working together.
Give it a whirl.
Walking your dog is a win win!
