Dogs often mirror their owners’ routines, but age and personality can play a big role in how they respond to daily activities. While younger pups tend to be full of energy and curiosity, senior canines often prefer comfort and rest. A recent viral video highlights this difference accurately, showing how two dog siblings reacted in opposite ways when their owners decided to work out at home.
Owners show how their senior and younger dogs react to them working out in video
Noah and Lincoln, two Pit Bull brothers from Florida, are well-loved online for their playful personalities and close bond. The pair has built a loyal following of more than 684K fans on Instagram, under the handle @noah_and_lincoln. Their latest clip has drawn extra attention for showing how dogs of different ages approach the same situation.
The video begins with Noah, the senior of the two, comfortably sprawled out on his bed in the living room. Just behind him, his owner is seen performing TRX rows using straps attached to a door. Despite the movement and effort happening only a few feet away, Noah doesn’t budge. His relaxed posture and sleepy expression suggest he would much rather enjoy his downtime than join in on any fitness routine.
However, the tone shifts completely when it’s Lincoln’s turn. The younger pup bursts with enthusiasm the moment his owner starts exercising. In the video, Lincoln can be seen leaping toward his dad, eager to get involved in the session. At one point, he even looks like he’s trying to grab hold of the TRX equipment himself. His owner captured the moment with a playful caption: “Let me get a few sets, Dad.”
The contrasting reactions sparked a lively discussion among fans in the comments section. One viewer joked, “Lincoln is a great personal trainer and Noah is also a great motivational coach.” Another imagined Lincoln taking things a step further, writing, “Lincoln is getting ready to release his exercise program.”
Others couldn’t help but laugh at Noah’s unimpressed attitude. One fan pointed out, “The side eye from Noah—like ‘you need to be doing this right here?’” Another summed it up by calling Lincoln “Dad’s pawsonal trainer.”
