I don't know about you guys but my 2 mut chihihua's think that when i workout in the frontroom that its time to lick my face. I do jillian michaels and biggest loser dvds and whenever i have to do mountain climbers they come and lick my face. Its so aggarvating.

    Yes...my dachshund, JRT, and Chi/Jack mix think I'm playing some kind of game when I'm doing p90x....they get all under foot. I'm surprised I haven't fallen over one of them yet, lol. :laugh:

    :laugh: At least the dogs are moving. I had cats. They would flop on the floor in front of me so they could have a comfortable spot to watch.

    I have an 85 lb boxer who thinks that when I work out it's play time. He thinks I should play with him of course so he jumps on me, chases me, licks me etc. It's hard to concentrate for sure. :)

    Thinking I should tie him to the treadmill and make him walk the whole time lol.

    I used to have a dog that would try and hop on the treadmill with me! she couldnt handle speeds faster than 2mph on the treadmill so I'd always freak out and turn the speed down. She was so sweet though, so sometimes I would let her walk with me for a few minutes before I kicked her off. I miss her :'(

    Pet obesity is also up in the U.S. so think of it as a pooch workout session. HA! :)

    We don't get enough time with our pets on this Earth, so I always try to cherish the little things like that because some day far too soon those moments will be gone.

    My cat interferes all the time. I whistle (he comes when I whistle) to him when I'm lower to the ground so I can pet him and he'll get satisfied and go lay back down. He also lays on my stomach/back when I'm doing any core work. I see it as extra resistance, but he gets p*ssed when I have to get up. Oh and he tries to leap into my arms when I'm standing up and working out sometimes. I find it amusing, most of the time...but I keep his claws trim :)

    Thats funny, my dogs do that in the beginning, but then when they see sweat thats when they start get closer and closer and then the licking begins

    If I try to do some pushups or crunches in my living room the dog thinks it is time to wrestle and my two boys think it is time to exact their revenge!

    Oh yeah! My older dog thinks that any form of yoga or stretching is when I should be petting her (duh, your hands are just out in the air waiting for a dog ear to scratch), and my puppy loves to jump on the wii board when I am trying to use it. Otherwise I try to involve the dogs, ie going to the dog run (running through shin deep snow all bundled up with heavy boots on is a great workout)!

    SO funny! In addition to our 80lb doberman I also have a daughter that wants to exercise with me. SO I will spend my time either dodging her or the dog. And god forbid if I happen to step on my daughters feet or bump into her - it's as if I have somehow interrupted HER workout rather than vice versa!!

    It is for this reason I generally exercise after 11pm when kids & animals are in their respective beds!
