LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
Move When You Can.
Sometimes “life” gets in the way of our movement plans. Emergency home repairs. Extra meetings at work. An illness or injury. When your movement routine gets derailed, remember that some movement is almost always better than no movement. You don’t need to crush your movement goals every week. Make as much time to move as you can, then get back to your routine when your schedule allows. Focus on the big picture of making movement part of your lifestyle.
Move more. Move often. Move when you can.

Our Movement Tips: Just Move & Share The Trail
FitLabPGH Lab Lessons 45:24 We’re Maryland Dogs Now
LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
We’re Maryland Dogs Now…And Still On Leash.
The Labs have officially relinquished their Pennsylvania residency and have applied for licenses in Garrett County, Maryland. One thing has not changed with the move. They still hike on leash. Why? 1. They don’t know their way home, and they don’t want to get lost. 2. They can’t be trusted to make good decisions (especially when faced with skunks, porcupines, or deer to “play” with). 3. They know not all animals are friendly, and they want to stay safe. (They saw their first bear over the summer). So the Labs stay close to their human staff while making movement part of their lifestyle.
Move more. Move often. Get outside. Stay safe.

LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
It’s Not All About the Pace.
The Labs make movement part of their lifestyle. They focus on moving rather than on pace, distance, or Strava leaderboards. In fact, the Labs aren’t even ON Strava…in part, because we don’t let them have computer access. Even if you ARE on Strava, it’s ok to enjoy moving at various speeds. Listen to your body. Take time to enjoy the scenery or a slower Sunday sniffy walk.
Move more. Move often. Enjoy your movement, whether fast or slow.

LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
Fall Fun for 4-Legged Friends.
Fall is full of festivities…pumpkin patches, corn mazes, BBQs, craft fairs. Many of these festivities are not pet-friendly (do your research beforehand). Make time in your Fall Fun for activities with your dogs. Take a hike. Play outside. Enjoy the cooler temperatures and Fall foliage. Remember: dogs love Fall too…and they want to spend time with their humans.
Move more. Move often. Include your dogs in your Fall Fun.

Lab Lessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
On a Short Leash.
We now spend more time on single track trails than we do on wider trails (rails-to-trails, paved trails, etc…). The Labs and humans love hiking in the woods. To make sure we all stay safely on the trail, the humans have purchased shorter leashes (3 feet for Abbie and 4 feet for Puddin). The Labs still have space to sniff and explore, but they’re less likely to drag the humans off the trail (or down a hillside).
Move more. Move often. Find a leash that meets your needs.
