My cat added extra weight to my push-ups

I was finishing my 30-day push-up challenge in the living room. My cat jumped on my back mid-set, which was awkward but made me laugh. How do you deal with pet interruptions during workouts?

Oh man, my cat does the exact same thing. She waits until I'm on the floor doing planks or something and then just parks herself right under my chest. It's like she thinks it's a new game I invented just for her. I've started counting it as extra resistance training because she's not moving. Makes the workout harder but way more funny. I just have to work around her now, it's part of my routine.

My friend's cat sat on his back during push-ups, @zara_murphy45, and he just laughed it off.

Linda's parrot always heckles my afternoon yoga.

Actually read a funny article about pets joining workouts. They said it's a weird sign of animal bonding, like they want to be part of your pack activity. Makes the whole parrot thing seem kind of sweet in a loud, annoying way.
