Dogs are not only great companions, but they can also be your workout buddies! Incorporating your furry friend into your exercise routine is not only beneficial for you, but it also helps keep your dog healthy and happy. Whether you have a high-energy breed that needs lots of exercise or a smaller dog that enjoys being active, there are countless ways to work out together. In this article, we will explore 100 creative and fun ways to stay fit alongside your four-legged friend.

1. Morning Jog

Start your day off on the right foot by going for a morning jog with your dog. This cardio workout will not only help you burn calories but will also give your dog the opportunity to burn off excess energy. Remember to adjust the pace and distance according to your dog's fitness level.

2. Fetch Race

Instead of just throwing a ball for your dog to fetch, challenge yourself by racing against them. This activity will get your heart pumping and also engage your dog's natural instincts to chase and retrieve.

Do you want your dog to be more active, and to run, jump, hike, and play alongside you when you exercise? Getting active begins way before you start training your dog on equipment or on agility courses. You must ramp up your daily activity, interactions, and overall health of the dog and the trainer—you! 

From their experiences as puppies to what they eat at every stage of their lives to what they do when they're not in "training" mode, your dog’s lifestyle matters. Your canine companion’s performance depends a lot on how they view you as their leader; how much impulse control they have, how much focus, and how they channel their energy to the job at hand.

See Spot Run teaches you the basics of canine/owner fitness, including nutrition, getting to know fitness equipment, building a weekly program...and how to stick with the program, and more. Then, the book dives into the instructions for more than 100 sports, games, and activities, teaching you the rules and skills, how to set a training schedule, how to dive in and get your paws wet, and beyond.
