Sometimes dogs just can’t grasp the difference between work and play - and this is something Jennifer Aniston knows all too well.
The Friends star has shared an adorable video on her Instagram story showing her dogs Clyde and Lord Chesterfield trying to fit in some playtime during one of her workout routines.
They’re seen playing tug of war with a teddy bear and walking all over Jen’s yoga mat as she valiantly tries to do reps with a kettle weight.
At the end of the video, Jen is seen playfully ‘collapsing’ into Lord Chesterfield, a white shepherd mix, as she lays down her weight, while Clyde, a grey schnauzer mix, takes the opportunity to rest his legs on her mat.

Jen’s other dog, Sophie, a black a white pit bull mix, seemed to skip the workout, possibly opting for a snooze in the sun instead.
As a keen animal lover, the 52-year-old has had a dog by her side since starring as Rachel Green in Friends.
During the filming of Friends, Jen owned a Welsh corgi named Norman, who sadly died at aged 15 in 2011, alongside a white German shepherd called Dolly.
Jen adopted Dolly as a puppy in 2005 following her split from actor Brad Pitt. The dog passed away in 2019 at the age of 14.
Just over a year after Dolly’s death, The Morning Show star welcomed Lord Chesterfield into her life.
In October 2020, she wrote on Instagram: “Hi! I’d like to introduce to you the newest member of our family - this is (a very tried) Lord Chesterfield.
“He stole my heart immediately. A huge thank you to Wagmor Pets Dog Rescue for the incredible work you do. Grateful you take such great care of these rescues and find them their forever homes.”
Celebrating his first birthday last year, she added: “One year with my lovable, squeezable, I'll call it… talkative (barks at air), cuddly, and not-so-little anymore Lord Chesterfield.”
Despite Lord Chesterfield being all over Jen’s Instagram page, it’s Clyde who seems to do the most in-person meet and greets, as he is often seen accompanying Jen on the set of The Morning Show.
