Work Out With Your Pooch!
The FBGs love our dogs. LOVE our dogs. (That’s mine at left wondering what I’m doing at my desk and can she please be included?) So when Jenn and I have the opportunity to work out with our dogs, we go for it! Walks are more fun with company, after all, and a good game of fetch is a good stress reliever for the throwing party as well as the fetcher.
Self magazine must have read our minds—or known that there are just as many pet-crazy people out there like us. The magazine has put together a pooch-perfect workout: Sweat with your Pet. How presh is that?
And working out with your dog isn’t just cute: It can make you work harder for longer! Dogs don’t take no for an answer, and research shows that people who stroll with a canine companion increase their pace 28 percent.
The routine includes a cardio workout with six sculpting moves—along with plenty of poochy-keen tips and plenty of doggie accessories. Flying solo without a Fido? The mag shows you how to do it all by your lonesome as well!
