Have you heard the news from the FitLabPGH Labs??? We’ve introduced Labrador Lessons from the FitLabPGH Podcast! Every Thursday, we’ll be bringing you wisdom from the FitLabPGH Labradors (with occasional input from the cats).

It’s your birthday; celebrate if you want to.

Yesterday (6/29/22) was Puddin the Yellow Lab’s 4th birthday. In honor of the occasion, we let her choose today’s Labrador Lesson…her message? On your birthday, or on other special occasions, you should choose IF you want to celebrate and HOW you want to celebrate. Maybe you want to hang out with friends; maybe you want to stay home and take a nap; or perhaps you want to hike up a monster hill. There is no wrong way to celebrate…as long as you, and those around you, stay safe.

Whether you have 2 legs or 4, choose to celebrate your special occasions in a manner that makes you happy…and keeps you safe. Don’t worry about how that celebration, or lack of celebration, looks on social media.

Find what makes you happy.

Being Labradors, we’re naturally happy animals, but it’s still important to make time in your life for the things that make you happy. We suggest you pick 2-3 things that bring you happiness, then make scheduling those things a priority. Our top picks: hiking with our humans; napping with our friends; and commemorating a hill climb with a summit celebration.

Whether you have 2 legs or 4, find a few things that make you happy, then make time for those things in your schedule!

Hydration is Essential.

Hydration is important, year-round, for Labradors and their humans…but when the weather gets warmer, hydration becomes critical. When we walk/hike in temperatures above 60 degrees, our humans bring Berkey Water Filters filtered water in our Nalgene bottle for our water breaks. When heat and humidity are a factor, our humans add electrolytes to their water; their current favorite electrolyte source is LMNT.

Whether you have 2 legs or 4, remember to hydrate yourself and encourage your movement companions to hydrate!

Don’t wait for motivation; Just Move.

As Labradors, we love to move, whether we’re hiking/jogging, taking a recovery day stroll, or playing around in the backyard. But we understand that humans look for “motivation” to move. We think movement is fun…isn’t that enough motivation? If not, here’s an idea: on days when you don’t feel like moving, get outside for a short walk. Commit to walking for 10-20 minutes. You may find you want to keep moving, but even if you don’t, you will have made movement part of your day.

Whether you have 2 legs or 4, don’t wait for motivation, or perfect conditions, or for your schedule to become less busy…Just Move.

Movement is a Lifestyle.

As Labradors, we love to move, whether we’re hiking/jogging, taking a recovery day stroll, or casually playing around in the backyard. Our cat roommates also like move and play. While we don’t attend structured “workouts,” we all make movement part of our lifestyle.

Whether you have 2 legs or 4, make time to “just” move. Workouts and scheduled activities are great, but make time for unstructured movement in between your planned workouts. Take a stroll through the woods or a local park. Take an extra walk with your dog(s). Do a little mobility work before bed. Make time for a casual bike ride. Just Move.
