Man's Best Workout Buddy

CassidyScaglione

Saw a post on here the other day by someone who thought that dogs were a detriment to fitness

Made me mad.

My dog is my best workout buddy!

Tell me stories and show me pictures of your canine workout pals!

Lol blaming an animal now on one's own failures? Sounds about right.

Are you referring to this thread, http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10327354/dogs-sabotaging-weight-loss/p1 By @Coley88?

The OP in that thread made it known that it was a joke thread, and to be taken in good humor. Never got the impression that they actually thought that dogs were "a detriment to fitness"

I'm seeing a lot of this and not enough of this:

Mainly I want to see pictures and hear stories of how your dogs help you pursue fitness.

i used to have a canine act for many years. We performed at fairs, festivals and sporting event half time shows. Training, traveling, performing, running around kept me fit and healthy and in shape. As soon as we retired i packed on the pounds. I miss them.

@SonyaCele Awesome. I wish mine were cooperative enough to learn this!

My dog loves to go to the park for walks and since I live in a condo, I have to take him for walks multiple times a day. Gets me off the couch He is also my training buddy when I train for the running part of the triathlon. Too bad I can't take him to the race with me.
