So far it's biking not more than 30min, hiking 20 min and swimming10 min. The first because I can't even move as fast as I need to in order for a gsd to sustain a normal walking pace. I'm not a distance runner. Hiking is fore for me:) Swimming is less stress on the joints and I do that the most, since my boy is not yet 2 y/o. Usually the swimmin follows the hike. I hope I'm not working him too much.
