    My dog goes jogging with me, well up to 2 miles.

    I also chase him / let him chase me at the park on occassion, similar to a HIIT run

    Haha! My dog is the worst work out buddy. If i'm doing sit ups he'll lick my face every time I come up and lean against me if I'm doing planks.

    I have stepped on my cats several times while doing Insanity. They always get in the way!

    Once my cat sat on my back while doing plank (thanks kitty but a 10lb weight was just what I needed.) also sometimes while doing sit ups they squeeze onto my belly and won't budge. Lol

    Both of my dogs hate it when I drag out the treadmill. They're scared of it, which is funny. They absolutely love going for a run with me outside though.

    My dog is just awful. When I set the alarm to get up in the morning, he always rolls over, turns it off, and tries to get me to take care of him, if you know what I mean. I can't keep him away from me!

    My Giant mastiff often takes me for long walks. Also, when I'm attempting to do yoga he thinks it's perfect timing to sniff my *kitten* and or lay his head on my belly and attempt to lick my belly button.

    My dog loves it when I exercise as long as she gets to work out too. She also likes to dance and "prances" when she sees me move to the music.

    Yes. When I workout at home I have to keep my boston terrier in a separate room.

    My dog likes to run with me, but can't keep up for very long (she has very short legs). When we go on walks, I usually try to let her set the pace. Anything in the house, though, and she'll sit on the couch and watch me as though confused as to why I would do that when there are walks to be taken.

    Ladies . . . if I was your dog I'd be doing the exact same thing.
