“At 10:00 AM, 10:30, I'll take Toby on a walk,” she said of her dog. “Dogs are high-energy companions, love to play and need exercise. People who own dogs get more activity in their day simply by making accommodations for their dog’s lifestyle. According to the American Heart Association, dog owners are 54% more likely to get the recommended amount of exercise than their non-dog owning counterparts. As a result, and due to a stronger immune system from being exposed to pet fur and dandruff, many dog owners see a decrease in blood-pressure, triglycerides and cholesterol levels, making them less at risk for heart-disease,” says American Humane.

I had to be at least one minute without breathing. And if I made it, I was gonna be happy,” she revealed. Given that she if often bullied on the Internet, she says, “Am I scared to tell people? Yes. Am I scared of what they might say? Yes, but am I embarrassed? No. I suffer from OCD, Tourette's, ADHD, and depression. I have OCD. The OCD doesn't leave you in times that I'm sad in times that I I'm going through stuff, OCD is there. Iit's just really hard because there's triggers. And in OCD, if you are triggered, let's just say to do something, you have to do it.”

“To do a squat, stand with your feet slightly greater than shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing ahead. Slowly descend, bending through the hips, knees and ankles. Stop when your knees reach a 90-degree angle. Then return to the starting position. You'll feel tension in your legs and buttocks,” says the Mayo Clinic.
