That’s a horrible idea, I’ve seen too many cases where this dog just ends up overweight bored and badly behaved. While this can work for some, a lot of people who have trouble getting into any kind of routine (be it fitness, eating habits or whatever) are not going to suddenly change. They maybe start out really motivated, but then they fall into old habits just this time an animal suffers the consequences with them.
Comment on What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise?

I always say, get a dog. Youll walk every day, you play in the park or backyard. Plus dogs are just awesome companions and help with positive attitudes.
Its a commitment, but i couldnt imagine not having a dog with me. Humans and dogs belong together.

I would say that’s a good idea, but I’ve seen too many horrible situations with dogs to believe that adopting a dog means those things will happen.
