Lacking the will to exercise? Join the #SquatYourDog challenge, the most adorable fitness trend this year
Feeling like you don’t have the will to exercise regularly? You might consider then the most adorable fitness trend of the year, the #SquatYourDog challenge.
The #SquatYourDog Challenge was started by Alyssa Greene, a fitness blogger, who posted a video of herself on Instagram in which she is seen using her own Golden Retriever as weight while performing leg squats. “Some days you just need something to brighten up your feed and make you smile. If anyone wants to join me, take a video of yourself squatting your dog or pet and tag me in it!”, the blogger wrote on her post.
The video has since gone viral and hundreds of Instagram users joined the challenge, featuring all kinds of dog breeds, from the small Chihuahuas to the imposing Huskies.
Nevertheless, Alyssa Greene warns people not to exercise with dogs that might be a bit too heavy for them and advises them to pay attention to their pet’s mood.
