Funny Fit Clips: Animal Inspiration
Posted on Aug 27th 2010 12:00PM by Kristen SeymourAerobics instructors and jazzercise devotees back in the '80s had no idea how much joy their perfectly feathered hair, matching leotards and corny commentary would bring to us in the future! At That's Fit, we're rounding up a few of our favorite funny fitness videos. Some are the real deal, while others are purposely playful, but no matter what, they're sure to bring a smile to your face. If you have a favorite, please share it with us!
Pets are good for your health in a number of ways: They get you outside and walking, and they can lower your stress level (except when they chew on your running shoes, naturally). Every time we see our pooch bow down into a fluid, graceful downward dog, we feel inspired to grab our yoga mats and crank out some asanas of our own. With all the great videos out there featuring animals and yoga, we may never skip a yoga class again!
Downward Dog: the Real Deal
Your four-legged friend might benefit your health, but you can also help his by involving him in your yoga practice. This clip shows you how to teach your dog, well, downward dog. You know, in case he doesn't already know it.
No Distractions
You know how yoga instructors are always telling you to be present and ignore distractions? This one really practices what he preaches -- at least until the end of the clip. (Also, does this happen to anyone else when they do yoga at home? Our pets just love to join in!)
Stretch Kitteh Likes to Stretch
You can't have an animals and yoga video roundup without Stretch Kitteh! We dare you to watch this video without spreading out your toes and stretching your back. And also without saying, "Awww!"
