I like to walk my dog still but I need to beef up the cardio, so I've been taking him out for a walk then when I get home I've hopped on the treadmill and done an extra 10 minutes of run/walk/jog/walk/run/cool off (Ill be adding more time as I become less out of shape lol). Should I be doing this before I go out for the better work out or does it matter?

Don't know which method is best, but for me I start of with a good walk to loosen up my legs a bit and then run at a decent pace for a prolounged period of time (40-50 minutes now) before doing a walk cool down. Before I had the endurance to do this I did two 5 minute walk (3.5 mph), 10 minute run (+6.0) intervals.
