I use a doggy dumbell in Dog Woods but if you don't have one you could use any of your favourite toy or plastic bottle ...
Wagging Warm Ups
The most important step before any dog-xer-cise is the warm ups. Now, warm-ups are very important because we don't want to end up straining or injuring any of our hunky ripped muscles.
The simplest and possibly the best warm-ups in the sphere of dog-xer-cise is wagging one's tail. So, fur friends out there, wag ya tail to your heart's content! Good way to jump start your metabolic rate too esp. when your human's have made more than many jibes about your weight (I hear ya vo-lup-chew-us Suzuki!).
When we're nicely warm and limber ... (when are we ever not?!), the next step comes the actual dog-xer-cise!
First, position the dumbell (or toy or plastic bottle) to the left of snout, open wide and sink your pearly whites in and CHEW! That's it. Chew! Chomp to the left! Work those jaw muscles now ... Chomp 1 and 2 and 3 and 4! and ...
Chomping chew to the left
...Change sides! Chew RIGHT! Chomp 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 ... That's it... Work those right jaw muscles now!
Chomping Chew to the Right
Now, chew on your sides!! Chomp 1, Chomp 2, Chomp 3 ... and flip over to the other side and Chew! Chomp 1 & Chomp 2 & Chomp 3 ...
Chomping on one's side
Now (huff-puff-pant-pant...) , last set chomping is to Chew Up-side Down! And ....Chomp 1, Chomp 2, Chomp 3 ...
Chewing Up-side Down!
Phew!! ... now that's quite a chewing wor- out, I'd say! You would like to repeat if don't think you're not working your muscles enough... but usually a complete set of chomping chews for this TOP DOG is enough to keep my handsome face and jaw muscles looking trim and sleek. ;)

Wow, after all that hard work, I bet you need a nice long nap.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm, Phantom really needs to work on warm-ups, he doesn't know how to wag his tail - Mom says he never wags it, just holds it up high over his back. When will we be able to buy your exercise videos?
