You
may be wondering, "How can I possibly do resistance
training with my dog?" Well, here are a few exercises
you can do with the aid of your faithful furry companion.
(F.Y.I.
- This section is written tongue-in-cheek - there is
plenty of serious exercise advice to be found in the
e-book).
1.
Leg raises - if you have a male dog, he's probably
already shown you how to do this one.
2.
Abdominal crunches with a paw on your forehead -
laying down on the floor and grunting in pain can cause
your dog to do it's own investigation to find out if
you're all right. The scratch marks across your forehead
are simply a byproduct of that concern.
3.
Deadlifts - if your dog has any inkling that you're
taking him to the vet or someplace else he doesn't want
to go and you've had to scrape him up off the floor
to get him in the car, you've just done a deadlift.
4.
Pull-ups - this involves pulling up furniture, rugs,
carpets, clothes, etc. to pick up all the fur that gets
into the strangest of places.
5.
Pushdowns - one for the overly-enthusiastic dinnertime
beggar.
6.
Lunges - when you're trying to grab her for a bath.
One final word of advice when doing resistance training
with your dog is never yell out "Spot me!"
if your dog is not housetrained. It's a mistake you'll
make only once.
