Our Movement Tip: Winter is Just Another Movement Season
LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek.
For the Memories.
The Labs don’t spend any time scrolling on social media, comparing themselves to trending influencers. They are happy to share their adventures with their followers. But they know their staff is primarily interested in preserving the memory of all the FitLab Labradors. While there is plenty of negativity on social media, we encourage you to focus on the positive side of social media. Celebrate the good moments and look forward to future adventures.
Move more. Move often. Move with dogs. Collect good memories.

Move at Our Pace.
The Labs have a message for all humans who move with their dogs: let your dogs set the pace. When we move with the Labs, they pick the speed. That means going slower in the Summer heat and faster in the winter…even if the humans are wearing snowshoes and struggling a bit to keep pace up a hill.
Move more. Move often. Move with dogs…at their pace.
LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek.
Keep us moving.
The Labs would like their human staff to get them outside and moving EVERY day. As long as the weather conditions don’t put them at risk, we are happy to accommodate them. When weather conditions are unsafe for dogs and/or humans, the Labs settle for enrichment activities at home. Basic training. Learning tricks. Following humans around through the household chores. Making movement part of your dogs’ lifestyle is good for their mental and physical health.
Move more. Move often. Moving with your dogs is good for them…and for you!

Things change. Keep moving.
Recently, we’ve had enough snow on the ground to change the way the 2-legged members of the Fit Lab want to move. But we recognize that the Labs need their daily hikes. So the humans have adapted by wearing snowshoes. Because movement is a lifestyle for the Labs and the humans. Plus, tired Labs are happy Labs.
Move more. Move often. When things change, find ways to keep moving.

Make Time for Recovery.
The Labs ALWAYS want to Move More. Especially on cold, snowy days. However, their humans recognize the value of an active recovery day (an “easy” day). So we build rest days and active recovery days into their movement plan.
Move more. Move often. Whether you have 2 legs or 4, make time for rest and recovery in your movement routine.
LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
Thanks for Keeping Us Moving.
Today’s Lab Lesson is a message TO the Labs: thanks for helping us make movement part of our lifestyle. When Ben got his first Labrador, he cut back on organized racing. He realized he’d rather spend more time on trails with dogs than traveling to various races. (Nothing against racing; this was Ben’s personal choice). Ben may be moving more slowly, but he’s having fun in the woods with the Labs. Dog walks may lack the speed of race training, but they offer consistency. Too many rest days = crazy Labs! This holiday season, we’re grateful to the labs for keeping us moving…even when wintry weather or a cracked rib makes us want to stay home.
Move more. Move often. If you’re lucky enough, move with dogs.

Our Movement Tips: Just Ride Your Bike is our only tip this week…cause It’s Snowing and we are out playing & shoveling:)
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.
