Beano keeps me moving, he needs his walks, three a day during the winter when it gets dark early, four or more when the days are longer.
I won't walk around the streets is the dark, I'm sure it's perfectly safe but I can't see well in the dark and I worry about tripping over an unseen bump or dip.
I see my neighbours on site and many of them shuffle, even some of the younger ones. There are an assortment of reasons for this but I want to avoid for as long as possible.
The weather here is warming up gradually which is good as it's half term here this week.

The exercises we do at our keep moving group are balancing up on toes and then back on heels, this is for helping with walking without shuffling. Plus purposely walking heel down first.
Almost everyone shuffles nowadays, young and old, because they wear poorly designed and manufactured, unsupportive, sloppy shoes.
Shuffling certainly gives the appearance of old age. Keep striding purposefully for as long as possible!
Beano is lucky to have you as an owner and you're lucky to have him to keep you moving. Please pass on gentle scritches.
I'm not sure if I shuffle - but I know that I have a tendency to stoop - I then hear my parents voices saying " straight back - head up " x
I walk at least 5000 daily... don't want to be a shuffler either!
hugs
