I think walking probably strengthens knees unless there is already a defect or injury. |
Jackson and his 7lb yorkie friend walk 4 miles together a lot in the fall and spring time. Summer it's just too hot and humid for long walks.
But we do a lot of hiking and such. The longest we've done all at once was about 7 miles.
But probably (not in the summer) we go about 3-4x a week to a local park and we do a 3 mile loop.
