However, as a general rule of thumb, a normally healthy adult Labrador Retriever will need 1 hour of exercise every day.

The more relaxed Labs just 45 minutes per day, the more energetic 1.5 hours+.

This can be made up of running, swimming, playing fetch, jogging alongside you&anything that goes beyond a gentle walk.

Just their normal playtime will tire him and give him enough of a workout. After 3 months, you can use the 'Five Minute Rule'. This is five minutes of structured exercise per month of age, until your puppy is grown. And that should be enough to keep him fit and burn off excess energy.
