Now that it’s getting darker earlier and the leaves are falling, going for a jog isn’t necessarily as safe as it was in the middle of the summer. There are more cars on the road, as people are less inclined to walk in the cooler temperatures, and it’s getting dark earlier, which makes it increasingly difficult for you to be seen.
So it’s important that you read the safety tips below to ensure your jog is healthy and safe!
1. Be Aware of Your Surroundings
Whether you’ve been out jogging for years or you’re starting a new exercise plan, it’s important to be aware of your surroundings and realize that every time you go for a jog outside, you’re at risk. There are a number of safety precautions you can take to reduce the risk of injury, especially during the fall season when roads are little slicker and busier.
Be sure you keep an eye out for traffic and ice, and if you happen to be jogging with headphones, keep the volume of your music to a lower level so you can hear any potential dangers.
