Play with your dog (30 mins)
No we don’t mean just standing there lobbing the ball. Chase after your dog, play with him, throw and run to retrieve the ball.

Go for a bike ride (15 mins)
A cycle in nature is good for the body and soul. It’s a great way to burn calories fast, and also an excuse to get outside and breathe in some fresh air.
