Dragging yourself to the gym can be even more draining than the cardio class you take once a week. Some people like to treat themselves to little rewards, but that can be a slippery slope. After all, there’s only so many times you can use the old “I exercised today so I can totally eat this entire tub of ice cream” excuse without it catching up to you.

We recommend this much more adorable solution from dog trainer Eric Ko. He and his sweet pup Teeny have a workout regimen that will inspire even the biggest couch potato to get up and get fit.

Instead of signing up for another gym membership you won’t use, maybe you should swing by your local shelter for your own at-home workout buddy.
