Fitness with fluffy friends in lockdown

Matteo has given me the challenge to write about fitness so here it is...

As Corona Virus hit and we were ordered to stay inside, people started becoming creative with finding things to do. One thing in particular that many people focused on was their physical health and keeping fit. Whilst being at home though, people found that using their pets to help them workout, contributed to making fitness more fun. Here are my top five favourite videos of people working out with help from their pets in lockdown in no particular order:

This hilarious tik tok filmed in May shows a man being chased by his cow. The reason this one makes me smile is because usually people being chased by cows are terrified, but this man’s sense of humour makes the video all the better. The cow also loves being given a treat at the end like a dog which further makes me love this video because who doesn’t love dogs?

Ducks are cute creatures and this adorable tik tok really shows it. The video shows ducks walking alongside their owners to go to a local pond and are then thrown into the water (personally this is my favourite part). It’s a fun video but also friendly as they remind us that the ducks are happy and enjoy their exercise.

Obviously I had to include at least one dog in my blog post! This video posted to Instagram in April shows a dog joyfully helping her owner work out. The overall video is adorable as the dog is so willing to help, but the best part of the video is when they high five at the end.

Here’s another adorable dog video! I personally love how the dog just won’t let go of the rope. The idea of using the dog toy is so simple yet so effective, making the video all round amazing.

This tik tok is great because it all seems to be going well... right up until the end! I had to include a cat video because I’ve seen so many cat workout videos during the pandemic. The idea of using your cat on your back to help you exercise is fun and as if your cat is a mascot cheering you on.


Those were my top five favourite videos of people using their pets to help them workout during lockdown. Matteo gave me the topic of fitness to write about and I thought I’d turn the idea into something a little humorous and fun.
