Being physically fit doesn’t have to be a one-person job! Why not involve your
pet into your exercise regime?
Along with being enjoyable, exercising with your
pet has many advantages for the two of you.
These fun activities you can do with your
pet range from cat-inspired
workouts to dog-friendly boot camps.
1. Doggy boot camps
These specialised boot camps offer a diverse range of activities, from hikes to exciting kayaking adventures, and yes, even the unique practice of dog yoga! The energy and enthusiasm shared between you and your pet during these classes not only enhance your physical well-being but also strengthen the bond of companionship as you start on the fitness journey together.
2. Doga (dog yoga)
Combine the serenity of yoga with the companionship of your dog through Doga classes. These sessions aim to strengthen the bond between owners and their pets while providing a calming workout. Just ensure your pooch is social, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered before hitting the yoga mat together.
Who says only dogs can join in on the fitness fun? Cats can also be part of your exercise routine! Exercising with your cat can be a delightful way to keep both of you active and entertained. Interactive toys such as feather wands and laser pointers can engage your cat’s natural instincts and provide mental stimulation. Creating a small agility course with household items encourages your cat to deal with obstacles, promoting physical activity and problem-solving skills. Additionally, playing chase and fetch with lightweight toys or crumpled paper balls allows your cat to indulge in their hunting instincts while bonding with you. Vertical spaces like cat trees and shelves provide opportunities for climbing and jumping, fulfilling your cat’s desire for exploration. Whether indoors or outdoors, activities like tug of war, leash training, and outdoor enclosures offer varied ways to keep your cat engaged and in good health.
4. Outdoor adventures with your pet
Going on an outdoor adventure with your best friend can lead to many bonding moments and exciting new experiences. Whether you’re taking your pet along for a leisurely stroll in a local park or taking on a strenuous hike through rugged terrain, outdoor activities have many advantages for both of you. Discovering new sights, sounds, and smells together strengthens your bond and creates a feeling of companionship. In addition, the exercise that comes with going on outdoor adventures helps you and your pet stay healthy and energetic.
