FitLabPGH Lab Lessons 34:22 Fall IS Coming…But Don’t Let Down Your Guard Regarding Ticks




Labrador Lesson for 8/25/22:

Fall IS coming…but don’t let down your guard regarding ticks!

We are starting to see leaves on the ground, and we can’t wait for the cooler weather of Fall…but now is NOT the time to let down your guard regarding ticks! We continue to stay away from tall grass, take our flea & tick medicine, and get regular tick checks from our humans…and we’ve had the lyme disease vaccine!

Whether you have 2 legs or 4, take precautions to avoid tick bites! For information on tick bite prevention and post-bite resources, visit www.tickencounter.org …Take precautions, be aware, then get outside and get moving!

FitLabPGH Lab Lessons 33:22 Sleep Is Essential




Labrador Lesson for 8/18/22:

Sleep is Essential.

We are energetic Labradors. To keep up our energy, we need sufficient sleep. We strive for a solid 8 hours per night plus extensive naps. We understand that humans don’t sleep as much as we do, but we strongly suspect most humans aren’t getting ENOUGH sleep.

Whether you have 2 legs or 4, prioritize sleep in your healthy lifestyle plan! Developing a healthy sleep routine may help you make good sleep part of your lifestyle…and remember, nap is not a 4-letter word!

FitLabPGH Lab Lessons 32:22 You Don’t Need to “Crush It” Everyday




Labrador Lesson for 8/11/22:

You don’t need to “Crush It” everyday.

We are energetic Labradors. We like to get outside and get moving most days of the week. But we know that doing TOO much puts us at risk of injury. So our humans track our mileage, and factor in the weather, and our week of movement consists of a balance of longer, more intense sessions and recovery walks.

Whether you have 2 legs or 4, remember that overtraining puts you at risk of injury, illness, or burnout. Listen to your body. Feeling extra energized? Push the intensity or duration. Feeling tired or rundown? Opt for gentle movement or an active rest day. We’re not saying you shouldn’t “get after it,” but balance your “crush it” days with recovery time! Make movement a lifestyle for your lifespan rather than a short-term goal.

Stay Safe through the Dog Days of Summer.

According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the Dog Days of Summer, or the hottest days of the year, last from 7/3/22 to 8/11/22 this year in the US. The good news for us Labradors, who don’t enjoy the heat, is that the worst of this Summer’s heat wave may be nearing an end. But until the cool Fall weather arrives, we have a few tips: 1) avoid outdoor movement in the heat of the day. 2) seek shade and soft surfaces whenever possible. 3) bring plenty of fluids…for you and your 4-legged friends!

Whether you have 2 legs or 4, take heat safety seriously! Take precautions to prevent overheating and heat illness. Stay safe and cool today, so that you can Keep Moving tomorrow.
