When you have a pup, you know the importance of getting them out for a walk. You also know it's time consuming... sometimes up to an hour out of your day between the morning and nightly walks!

So, what's a girl to do?!

We know you're a busy babe, so we've developed a total body booty-kickin', metabolism revvin' workout that can easily be done during your morning or evening dog walk! All you need are some comfortable clothes and (wo)man's best friend to get an amazing sweat-sesh in! For all you mammas... these moves are also perfect for you!

Lace up your kicks, get your pup on a leash, and let's TONE IT UP!

MOVE GUIDE

Run it out!

Pick a spot 15-20 minutes away and run your lil' tushy & pooch to it! Make sure you choose a spot you know you'll be able to stop and do a few exercises at!

Walking Lunges + Kickback

Tones your quads, hamstrings, and booty!

Begin in a lunge position, right leg forward, making sure your knee doesn't go past your toes. Push off the ground with your front heel, extend and lift your back leg behind you squeezing your glutes. Continue walking lunges, alternating kickbacks with each rep.

Complete 20 reps per side, 40 total
