But because it is raining today, I have found an innovative way to get this gentleman’s cardio done. The plan is to show him a treat and make him run behind the electric scooter, so that his energy gets burned, and I don’t have to do cardio at 2 am.”DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.
