You are receiving this e-blast because you signed up for these e-blasts on FourLeg.com. If for some reason, this makes you unhappy... then unsubscribe at the bottom. But for everyone else... HEY! Let's get on with the show! More Pain... How to Exercise... and my kid's team won! AND I've created some NEW POSTERS and special pricing for Members! THIS WEEK ONLY!
And... a Special Incentive for Non-Members to JOIN THIS WEEK!
Lots to tell you this week:
My kid's high school football team won their Provincial Championship game (Tier 4 - which means schools
smaller than 499 students)! It was awesome to see him play, and be one of the captains to accept the trophy! My throat is still sore from yelling & cheering!
And I worked to get some videos together for you to do a 'mash-up' of FUNCTIONAL WAYS to EXERCISE... but technology has failed me. Firstly, I had to figure out the latest version of iMovie, and
then how to export it. However, after 3 failed attempts to export directly to Youtube (which took several hours over 2 days), I then exported to my desktop and dragged over to YouTube. BUT, I have been trying to upload the videos for the last 6 hours with no success. So, I'll just have to 'write' a blog for you, and try again next week!!!
Have you checked out the Bracing, Splinting, & Soft Orthoses Course I'm offering at my clinic? If not, then read below! I LOVE this course!!
AND THIS WEEK I HAVE A SPECIAL! I have created two new posters! I've been wanting to make more posters now for a couple of years. And finally, I got
busy and commissioned some photos & then some artists to help me create my vision(s)! CHECK THEM OUT in the Products section (for non-members) or the DISCOUNTS section (for Members). Members will also notice that I have a special sale on them this week.
2 for 1 or 3 for 2... but you have to go to the Discounts Section on the Member's side of the website!
Anyhoo... enough about me, here's your learning for this week!

Blog: How to Exercise your Athlete |
So, let’s say you saw a video of a dog running across a row of inflated peanut balls, and you thought, “Cool! Hey, I want to try that with Rex!” Firstly, ask yourself, “Why?” Will it address any of the key components to improving fitness? Does it help with strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, muscular endurance, power, skill, cardiorespiratory endurance & capacity (aerobic),
or anaerobic power & capacity? And if yes, is it a component that your dog needs?
