Those of us with canine companions know that getting a dog is hard work -- but not only is it emotionally rewarding, having a dog helps you get fit too. Singer Fergie and her new husband Josh Duhamel know -- they're about to adopt a third pooch into their fur family. And obviously it's working for them.

Yes, Fido helps you get fit, according to this article. And I believe it because here's the thing about having a dog -- you have to walk it. Which means you have to walk. Every day. I dog sat for a couple of months in the summer and it helped me get in even better shape because I had this gigantic ball of energy barrelling up and down hills that I had to follow.

I'm not saying you should get a dog just as an exercise device. But if a pooch is in the cards for you, don't fear the daily walks -- they'll do you a world of good.

Fergie, the rocking popstar who's known as much for her smokin' body as her successful singing career, is pursuing a new career ambition: Acting. And you know what actors tend to do -- they slim down or bulk up for various roles. It's the latter for Fergie -- the gorgeous singer is in the process of gaining weight for the upcoming movie musical Nine.

According to Fergie, "I've actually gained 10 lbs! No, really - for the film, 'Nine'. Actually, 13 to be exact. I ate everything! Fish and chips. Everything fried - things I don't normally eat." But she's also looking forward to losing the weight in time for her wedding to Josh Duhamel, adding, "I have to give the bad food up now! So, yeah - I'm in that phase! Back to diet designs - my food delivery service!"

Gaining weight is always the easy part, huh? Good luck to her on the weight loss, though I don't think she needs it.
