Struggling to shift stubborn weight, especially around menopause? Walking might sound too simple, but when you combine it with the joy (and accountability!) of your dog, it becomes one of the most powerful tools for long-term weight loss and wellbeing.


In this episode, I share how daily walks with your dog can help you burn calories, reduce stress, and build sustainable habits that stick. You’ll learn why consistency matters more than intensity, how to turn your walks into mini fitness sessions, and the surprising mental health benefits that make walking just as important as hitting the gym.


Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a busy mum, or someone just starting their health journey, this episode will show you how to use your four-legged friend as your ultimate fitness partner.
