What is your favorite form of physical exercise?
(Hint: it involves a leash, a fence, and one very determined rescue pup.)
I wish I could say yoga.
Or pilates. Or something serene that involves candles and slow breathing.
But if I’m being honest?
My favorite form of exercise is called “Chasing Sauli.”
It’s a high-intensity, full-body cardio workout that starts the moment my rescue pup decides fences are suggestions.
There’s sprinting (after her), squats (to grab the leash she somehow dropped), core strength (from holding back laughter and panic at once), and endurance (because she always finds a new way to escape).
There are no memberships, no mats, no fancy shoes. Just me, my heart rate spiking, and Sauli—running like she’s auditioning for Fast & Furious: Dog Edition.
But here’s the secret: somewhere between the chaos, laughter, and occasional mud bath, I realized this isn’t just exercise.
It’s connection.
Every chase, every wild run through the park, every moment she looks back mid-sprint as if to say “Come on, human!”—it’s life reminding me to move, to play, to breathe.
That energy, that wildness, that hilariously unfiltered joy—that’s what inspired my book series, The Adventures of Sauli the Rescue Pup.
Because sometimes, the best workouts aren’t found in gyms. They’re found on the other end of a leash.
