dimicag Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Hello everyone. I’ve been experimenting with the lap day calculator to track my dog's exercise routines and was curious if anyone else has tried using it for their pet’s workout plan. I know it's commonly used for human fitness, but I’m trying to adapt it for my dog’s daily runs and playtime. The tool seems to be effective for measuring distance and time, but I’m unsure how to properly adjust it for dog-specific metrics like energy expenditure or breed limitations. Any tips on how to make the most of this calculator for a dog’s physical activity? Would appreciate any advice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
susanmark Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 That’s an interesting approach! While the lap day calculator dog is designed for human fitness, you can still adapt it for your dog with a few adjustments. Start by estimating the average speed your dog runs at compared to human walking or running speeds—this will give you a better idea of time and distance metrics. As for energy expenditure, consider factors like your dog’s breed, weight, and fitness level. Larger, more active breeds might burn more energy, so you could try adjusting the intensity level in the calculator based on how energetic your dog typically is. You might also look into breed-specific exercise needs to make sure the amount of activity aligns with your dog's physical capabilities. If you're unsure, tracking how your dog feels post-exercise (e.g., tiredness, soreness) will help you fine-tune the intensity over time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
