Both you and your dog need regular exercise to remain healthy. Fortunately, you can go get your hearts pumping together—and that makes working out much more fun. Today, the friendly team from Robinwood Kennel, the top dog day care in Highland Heights, KY, explains how to incorporate your pet into your regular exercise routine.

1. Running

Dogs love to zoom through parks, fields, or trails. Simply put grab their leash, or head to an off-leash park, and start jogging! You may find that having your best friend around keeps you motivated.

2. Cycling

If you’re not much of a runner, then cycling may be just the solution you need to boost your heart rate and get some fresh air. Many dogs can safely run alongside their owners while they cycle.

3. Play Soccer

Dogs love soccer. They may not play by the rules, but that doesn’t mean the two of you can’t have fun scoring goals and chasing the ball.

4. Rollerblading

In-line skating is a fun, but often overlooked form of exercise. Grab your pooch and skate around town. Make sure your dog obeys your commands and keeps pace with you to avoid any spills.

5. Go Fetch

Sure, you play fetch at home all the time—but if you only stand in one place, you’re not maximizing the game’s benefits. This fun activity doesn’t just have to be exercise for your dog. While they’re chasing their favorite ball or stick, squeeze in a few squats, lunges, or crunches.

Whether you love working out or don’t exercise as much as you should, getting your dog involved makes it easier and more funs. Take it from the experts from Highland Heights’ top dog day care, who know how to get your dog’s heart rate pumping.
