EXERCISE and STAY SAFE In The HEAT

Jul 14, 2003

Outdoor exercise routines tend to get altered in the summer months due to the extreme temperatures during the day. Runners, joggers, walkers and hikers tend to alter their workout times to early morning-hours or after the sun goes down to avoid the heat. By being aware of your surroundings and taking appropriate actions to protect yourself you can reduce the likelihood of becoming the victim of an attack.

Many people think because they don?’t usually carry money with them when they exercise they are not likely targets for an attack. Unfortunately, this is not true. You must always be aware of your surroundings and take appropriate actions to protect yourself When you exercise you get so busy concentrating on how much farther you are going to go you don?’t pay attention to what is going on around you. Being alert and being aware is vital at all times. . . ☻
