It’s always a great idea to workout and stay in shape. There are numerous choices for exercise and all you have to do is find the one you like and off you go. Though for some, working out at home is still the best choice for many personal reasons. People invest in home workout equipment and with the right mindset and discipline, results can come pretty quickly.
It’s also great to have a workout partner. One who supports you and stays with you until the exercises are done.
A partner helps you focus and provides a little competition at times.
It goes without saying that you need to focus when in the gym or during a workout. You don’t want to hurt yourself with any sort of distraction. A partner can also help with that.
But what if it’s your partner doing the distracting? How then will you finish your session?
Mental focus translates to gains in physical strength.
Well this guy can tell you. He’s doing pull-ups on his personal home gym and once he finishes a set, he grabs his mat and stretches it out on the floor for a different set of exercises. Maybe some sit-ups, push-ups, probably burpees? He’s got his gym face on and from the looks of it, this guy has a lot more in his tank for the workout.
His workout partner seems to have other ideas though.
See, Bailey is this adorable Golden Retriever and aside from being the partner, this doggo wants to be the fitness coach too. She sees the mat being set up and already she’s on it before her human is. He’s trying to position himself but she won’t let him. No way.
Well since Golden’s are reasonably large breeds, they have some weight to them. So he lifts her and tries to plop her down on the couch. But Bailey is as quick as lightning and is back on the mat again.
That is the fluffiest bicep curl we’ve ever seen.
Bailey starts jumping around in circles and whether that’s her workout or she’s just being playful is entirely up to you.
He finally spots enough space and positions himself for a push up. Oops! Bailey sees the space and dives beneath her human dad.
Bailey has other ideas and plops down belly up.
This is a core workout with bonus belly rubs.
Bailey’s dad is beside himself. His focus is gone and he is just laughing now at his dog’s crazy antics. Focus, Bailey!
Dad picks her up again and positions her gently on the couch. He doesn’t realize it but that’s a full body workout already. Get those protein shakes ready!
Bailey seems to get it and stays put for a few moments…
Her dad finally gets in to a plank position and just when he’s about to begin… Dog alert! Bailey jumps down, encircles him, jumps over, and dives once more beneath her dad.
Well dad gives up and just allows Bailey to have her way. He assumes the plank and holds it for that extra strong core. Bailey being the good fitness partner then decides to use her own weight as added resistance and help her dad burn more calories.
What a good partner she is!
Dad gets to finish his workout and even lets Bailey have her fun as she starts to run around and play again. That’s her burning calories alright!
