Maybe a strawberry on a pushing pole strapped in front of it too then?
Comment on If I strapped a weight to a tortoise, could I train it go relatively fast?

The turtle would get stronger, but strength wouldn’t necessarily have to translate to speed

Do non-human animals get more physically fit from working out?

Not sure about reptiles but mammals for sure.

As long as they have the food/nutrition for it, sure - it’s all just muscles 🤷♂️

Gotta tune your turtle for more horsepower, not more torque.

If you have more torque and the same rpm, you get more horsepower as result.

Exactly, instead of making it pull weights, make it run after a salad or something and gradually increase speed/distance.
