Dogs make magnificent workout buddies. They never complain about hills, or cancel on you last-minute. And they’re always stoked to follow you out the door. Even if you’re just taking your pup for a walk, that counts. If you move at a fast clip, you can burn as many as 170 calories in half an hour. But there are lots of other activities you and Fido can do together—all while strengthening your bond.
Check out these fun ways to get fit with your furry friend!
- Chase soccer balls around together.
- Take your dog out for a spin in a sit-on-top kayak.
- Let your dog join you on the nose of your paddleboard.
