I am lithe because I work out every morning in my home gym. My brother,” the Dread Pirate Marcus,” just likes to fight. He works out with the dog in the downstairs dojo and ambushes father on the stairs. Marcus says he likes a more aerobic exercise routine. Our dog brother Max says he is a hunter and cattle dog. He gets his exercise running around outside chasing squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits. He protects the home from invasion.
Last night, we woke Father during our two AM exercise period. One would think he’d be glad we work so hard at physical fitness. All he ever does is sit at the desk and write!

Nice 👍
Does Father not understand that there is no set schedule for exercising? You do it when the mood strikes. Not only does the body stay lithe and limber, but the mind does, too.
Father likes to sleep in despite the jazzercise class we hold on the bed at 6 AM! He’s so slothful!
😊 and what a pretty kitty!
Max is brave taking on a martial artist cat! What breed is Max? I wonder if cats see stalking dogs and chasing humans as exercise.
It’s funny to watch them play together. The cat lies down on his back and demonstrates Judo style mat work while the dog goes for little nips at Marcus’ belly.
Sounds like they have a great relationship.
I recall Charles Atlas supposedly developed his exercise routine by watching how cats exercise. Remember those cartoon book advertisements where the scrawny guy on the beach got shamed in front of his girlfriend by a muscle-bound bully kicked sand in his face, so he muscled up using the Charles Atlas course so he could retaliate? Whew! If life were so simple!
Yup, the cats just want us to join that jazzercise session, Doug.
LOL! Well, I’ve always thought cats were Kool and that Jazz is the music that works best with cats! Jazzercise works right into the scenario..
