Natalie Portman Knows The Secret Of A Great Hike: Bring A Puppy!

Everybody knows that working out is meant to relieve stress, so what if we told you that Natalie Portman has found a way to make that stress disappear much faster??

That’s right, she brings her cute little puppy along with her!

Fresh air and fitness DO help a ton, but there’s nothing quite like bending down to pat your little furry friend for a while in the calm sereneness of nature! Plus, if they fall behind you can totally carry the puppy and then just pet them the entire time!

Win/win! Ha!

If she brought Aleph along, the whole thing would probably turn into a cute family healthy picnic or something! Worth it!
