As a working breed, it is very important that we remain in top physical condition. Today, we demonstrate some Siberian Husky calisthenics that keep us in shape. You see some sled dogs do a variety of exercises during the off-season so that they are fully prepared for the rigors of our winter sport.
The workout we are about to show is intense and should only be attempted by athletes in top physical condition. We encourage you to use warm up in advance and pay a great deal attention to using proper form. We invite you to see some exclusive footage of the specially adapted training program for The Thundering Herd.
Remember, we are professionals. Pace yourselves.

Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
Hu-Dad's Novels
His books pay for our food!
Trying to work off all those Frosty Paws? π
Oh my God, guys – I think Wolverine needs to come and take workout tips from you! π I was working up a sweat just watching you – don’t know how you can keep it up! π
Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane
This had me literally LOL, just priceless. I cannot take the combined cuteness of all those sprawled paws.
Shamus, the Newf, tried to do some Stomping of the Weeds, but he dropped to the floor a bit to soon. Emmett, our hound, didn’t even bother to circle. He just threw himself down. I’ll keep them at it. It obviously takes a lot of work to perfect that move. Form, style, the right number of turns… Ugh. Exhausting.
Hahahaha … absolutely cute commentary! I can’t help it though, all i could think of when i look at that carpet was: AHHHHHH!!!! ALL THE HAIR!!!!!! LOL
Haaaaaaaaaa, I think I left you the appropriate comment on youtube. Okay, so I’ve posted about the walk one last time, but I want to wish you a glorious outcome. Thank you for helping out in volumes!!!

Moving this speed in your video, makes it seem like you are all going so much faster when you race! I follow the same training program, lying on the floor and only lifting one eyebrow (to follow progress) as my secretary types this message to you all.
This is a hoot!!! Your dogs are SO beautiful. I could just look at them all day.
Yip, we’ll definately be leaving that to the professionals! We’ll have to take some notes so when we mature we can start our own training! :p
Licks and lots of slobber,
Lexi and Jasper the Danes
This is vastly superior to that shake weight thing. π
Ok…we are exhausted after that. Must pace ourselves!!
Licks & Nibbles,
Kody & Nia
You have a pawesome exercising program!
I will try to follow it!
Kisses and hugs

Glad to see everyone is getting ready for Sarge’s Walk.
First, you need a Caution at the beginning of this video: “We are professionals. Do not try this at home!” Second, ever consider doing a Sibe Fitness DVD? You put Tybo to shame…and think of the cross marketing possibilities…workout gear…energy bars…Thundering Herd Fitness Camp!
You guys work too hard. You better slow down.
You lot are out of control. I was tired just watching all that excitement!
Awesome job Herd. We took notes for our excersise routine.
Have you considered marketing a DVD maybe H6X.
Remy and Flash
Hmmm that is quite the workout plan π
Don’t forget, we’ve moved to http://dogisgodinreverse.com
Thanks for sharing the secrets of how to keep in such great shape. π
You all sure know how to keep in shape.. We always do a little couch launching, well the Pest does. She is known as the “Flying “B”itch” hehe

I think woo’ve khaptured some of the khalisthenikhs from Khamp Khyra
My mom wanted to do some human workouts with some Snowflake Plukhking!

It’s good that you put that disclaimer in there, reminding everyone that the Siberian Husky is a Working Breed. I mean, not just anyone can handle all that!!!!
I need a nap.
Play bows,
Zim
As a workout video, I would call this perfection! I see that you prepare for work pretty much as I prepare for sport!
Loved it. Just sayin.
Wif love from the Luke
You guys have it all covered – we tend to work the hardest on the doga stretch after the nap which of course comes after the stomping down of the weeds.
Great presentation from the Herd.
Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
My kind of exercising, guys, especially the after/nap part!
Go to it!
Kisses,
Stella
You will most certainly be ready for winter!! BOL!
Wags,
Zona
Yes, you are “professional” NAPPERS! π
We’re pretty good at napping around here, except of course, in the middle of the night when our humans are sleeping. Then, we must protect the house from the slightest rustle outside… necessitating yet more napping during the day.
Wooos! I guess I will be in great shape fur the winter too!

Bella & I need to get on this training plan!
Ha ha ha! Morgan does Doga exactly the same way! Whew! I feel like such a slacker now. I’m not getting nearly enough exercise.
I just want to know what Hu-Dad did to The Herd to get them so tired before that workout!
so cute!!! really liked the doggy doga.
Woooo well done the herd, I see a lot of effort has gone into your exercise. Well deserved rest π
Khumbu
Your poor hu-dad – having to deal with all that activity in the house like that. You guys really need to learn how to settle down and relax! Can’t be working all the time! LOL!
Excellent lesson, I will keep that on board and tell all my fellow sleddoggery pals!
Or maybe I should keep those secrets for myself…
An excellent video. I’m exhausted from watching the workout.
Meeshka
we paid attention too and realized that we’re also a “working” breed as we are alike in sooooo many ways Bol!
chikisses,
coco
Oh man, Natasha makes it look so easy!
Rusty,you and Loki could be bunk buddies with that burp. if i could just get it on video… Loki burps like a boy trying to burp on purpose… swallows a bunch of soda and forces his burps out loud and clear.
Sam took careful notes! Next year, he is going to be in great shape!
