Dog helps owner get their reps right in adorable workout video
In an adorable workout video on Instagram, a French Bulldog named TJ turns into his owner’s “gym partner.” Through onscreen text, the owner explains, “When your dog is your training partner.” While some may think the pet parent is joking, the clip proves the pup takes his job very seriously.
It begins with the man starting with his core exercise — sit-ups. If anyone is familiar with this workout, they may know that trainers sometimes hold the ankles during the session. As TJ is the trainer here, he does it for his owner. Next, the dog helps his human with push-ups. Following the owner’s signal, TJ hops on the man’s back while the latter continues the exercise.
In the end, the pet parent does the plank exercise with a little twist. While holding his posture, he raises one hand at a time. Following each hand movement, TJ taps or boops his dad. Moreover, the background score makes the workout video with the dog funnier.
Viewers have also enjoyed watching the Instagram Reel. One user wrote, “Wow Tj is the best coach! Is he fully booked?” Another commented, “Best little work out pal you could have.” Many found TJ “adorable” and “awesome,” and called him the perfect “little helper.”
One individual also said, “TJ, you clearly did all of the heavy lifting, so to speak.” Meanwhile, the dog workout video has garnered over 4K likes at the time of writing.
