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.

  • Leg raises - if you have a male dog, he’s probably already shown you how to do this one.

  • 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.

    Most people are classically biased toward one of the three legs of the fitness triad: progressive resistance training, cardiovascular training or diet/nutrition. How many folks try and lose weight by dieting and dieting alone? A safe bet would be a majority of individuals. Ever wonder why people who lose a lot of bodyweight rapidly still look fat? It?s because they are still fat.

    When the human organism perceives starvation it reverts to a primordial hardwiring that seeks to preserve body fat (the last line of defense against starvation) at all costs. So dieting alone can results in weight loss but when more muscle than body fat is lost as a result of crash dieting, the end result is not all that impressive.

    No matter how easy or difficult it may seem, weightlifting has become a must in any kind of exercise. Even the experts know the benefits of weightlifting that’s why fitness specialists are coming up with more exercises and machines that involve weightlifting. An example of this kind of development is the power rack.

    Power racks hold and support barbells are made of a heavy gauge steel frame. A typical power rack stands from 8 up to 9 feet tall and can be extended to a height once or twice its typical height if you are using it with pull-up handles. It consists of two or four posts with movable handle bar catchers located on each side of the poles that serves the purpose for carrying the barbell. The side bars have different levels allowing you to lift the barbell from different positions.
