Dogs aren’t just a man’s\u00a0best friend…they make great workout buddies, too!\u00a0Dogs are loyal, obedient, and<\/em> you don’t have to worry about them flaking last minute.<\/p>\n So why not kill two birds with one stone by getting in a little sweat sesh for you\u00a0and your pup? Try a few of these pet-friendly\u00a0routines the next time you work out.<\/p>\n Go for a run Incorporate circuit training with a dog-friendly boot camp<\/strong> Try pet-friendly push-ups<\/strong> Catch a wave and try stand-up paddleboarding<\/strong>

\nYes, dog fitness classes exist! These types of classes often focus on high-intensity moves for strength, balance, and cardio so you and your four-legged companion both get a butt-kicking workout. We recommend Bootcamp<\/a> because they offer some great classes across the country.<\/p>\n
\nDid you know dogs\u00a0can do push-ups? Here\u2019s how it works: do as many push-ups as you can in a minute and have your pet sit and lie down as many times as he or she can in one minute. Keep alternating in 10-minute intervals for three sets. This also works better if your dog is trained, or you may need to train your dog to do this.<\/p>\n
\nWarning: when you commit to this exercise, you’re signing up for a killer ab workout. It’s a great exercise for you and your furry comrade because your core works to maintain the balance of the board as your pup sits at the tip. Don’t forget life vests because it’s likely that you’ll both take a dive.<\/p>\n
