Ever tried to squeeze in a workout at home, only to have your dog decide it’s playtime? That’s exactly what happened to one pet parent when her Golden Retriever, Duke, took over her gym session in the most hilarious way.

In a video shared by @dukethatgolden, Duke is seen enthusiastically interrupting his mom’s exercise routine. Whether she’s attempting yoga poses or lifting weights, Duke is right there, offering his own brand of “assistance.” His antics include nudging her, lying on her mat, and even trying to mimic her movements.

Golden Retrievers are known for their friendly and playful nature, and Duke is no exception. His desire to be involved in every aspect of his mom’s life, including her workouts, showcases the breed’s affectionate personality. It’s clear that for Duke, any time is a good time for bonding.
