      Walk your pit bull every day. Puppies should be taken for shorter walks of five to 10 minutes at a time because, according to Dog First-Aid 101, longer walks can be harmful to their developing bones. Adult pitbulls can walk longer. Pitbulllovers.com recommends walking an adult pit bull three to five miles a day.

      Keep your pit bull on a leash when you are walking together. This will prevent it from getting injured or frightening other people. Even the best-trained pit bulls can get too excited. Don't walk during the hottest part of the day and take water for your pit bull to keep it from overheating during the walk.

      Take your pit bull jogging with you if you are a runner. Start with short distances and gradually work your way up to longer runs. Running will help expend some of your pit bull's extra energy. Try taking the dog swimming if jogging isn't something you enjoy.

      Play with your pit bull in the yard every day. Pit bulls crave human attention and affection, and play will not only give your dog an outlet for its energy, it will help the two of you bond. Play games such as fetch and tug-of-war (which your muscular pit bull will excel at) to burn energy, exercise your pit bull's mind and give it a way to practice instinctive behaviors.
