This week the Labs remind us to Leash Your Humans (a little Labrador humour??
Our movement tips: focus on the positive, move for you & make your bike work for you
Labrador Lesson for 5/19/23:
Leash Your Humans.
As Labradors, we love to take walks with our humans. We know how to follow the rules of the trail and how to share outdoor space with others. When we encounter other trail users, we give them plenty of room to pass. And we ALWAYS obey the leash laws. Not everyone wants to have a close encounter with an off-leash human (or dog), so we always keep our human on a leash. If your humans play well with others, you can take them to a designated off-leash area…our human does not play well with others, so we keep him leashed.
Whether you have 2 legs or 4, get outside and get moving…and when you do, please follow the leash laws, so that ALL trail/park users can enjoy the outdoors!

Labrador Lesson for 5-12-23:
Be Consistent.
As Labradors, we would happily get outside and get moving everyday…regardless of weather…ok, full disclosure, we don’t love hot, sunny days, but our love of movement wins out. We understand that some humans tend to make excuses for not moving – too busy, too hot, too cold..so we thought we’d offer a simple piece of advice for making movement part of your lifestyle: Be Consistent. Just move…on most days…
Whether you have 2 legs or 4. Consistency is key to making movement part of your lifestyle.

This week the Labs remind us Remember to Have Fun
Our movement tips: #vacation is for #movement & #listen to your body
Labrador Lesson for 5-5-23:
Remember to have fun.
This is a #flashbackfriday Labrador Lesson from January, when the Labs were hoping for snow…
As Labradors, we don’t read the news, but we see just enough television and social media to know that there is no shortage of negativity in the world. Take a tip from us: focus on the positive and remember to have fun. Our fun times include walking with our humans (on leash, for their safety); chewing sticks; and watching deer 🦌 and turkeys 🦃. We also love frolicking in the snow, but even when there’s no snow, we remember to have fun when we get outside.
Whether you have 2 legs or 4, remember to have fun…in your movement practice, and in the rest of your life. Focus on the positive and create fun times whenever possible.

This week the Labs remind us Don’t Get Ticked Off
Our movement tips: beware of hazards on the trail, just #explore & enjoy the changing seasons
Labrador Lesson for 4/28/23;
Don’t get ticked off.
A reminder from the Labs before you opt outside to enjoy Spring hiking, biking, walking, or running…while ticks don’t have an official “season,” the arrival of warmer temperatures means ticks will be more active. 3 tips to reduce your dog’s tick risk. 1. Use flea & tick meds year-round and get the Lyme Disease vaccine if recommended by your vet. 2. Check your dog (and yourself) for ticks after every outdoor movement session. 3. If temperatures are above freezing, stay out of tall grass/vegetation. Bonus tip: check out the TickEncounter Resource Center at www.tickencounter.orgfor tips on tick bite prevention and post-bite resources.
Whether you have 2 legs or 4, awareness is key for a safe, healthy Spring and Summer!
