Walking with a glass of water on your head without holding it with your hands can be an interesting exercise to improve balance and posture, although its usefulness may vary depending on each person's goals. At the balance level, practicing this exercise regularly can help strengthen the muscles that participate in balance, such as those in the legs, abdomen and back.
At the postural level, keeping a glass of water on your head can also encourage an upright posture; which can help improve overall posture. Although this exercise also involves coordination and concentration, in addition to developing greater body awareness, can an animal practice it? Can a dog carry out this practice? The answer is yes.
The Instagram account WoofWoofTV, which has more than 1,700,000 followers, has shared a video of a golden retriever that not only walks but also gets up and performs the acrobatics asked of it while carrying a glass of water on its head and not spills it.
The images begin with the dog stretched out on the floor with the glass of water on his head. This golden retriever gets up and walks a few steps. He stops and then sits down, puts his weight on his back and lifts his two front legs, so that he stays upright. The glass does not move at any time, which shows its great balance.
The video has accumulated more than 718,000 views on Instagram and nearly 60,000 likes. Most of the comments highlight the skill of this golden retriever and point out that it is a very smart dog. "He is very smart and very cute," says one Internet user. ""He is incredible," highlights another.
