How Do You Practice Safety Tips While Running Or Walking?
Running or walking is the easiest form of exercise, and it can also be the safest if you use common sense and follow some simple rules. Find a partner – there’s safety in numbers. If you must run or walk alone, go where there are other people. Run or walk during daylight hours whenever possible. If you must exercise in the dark, wear light-reflecting or light-colored clothing. Avoid running in the streets or in deserted areas. Be thoroughly familiar with your route. Know the location of phones, police or fire stations, and 24-hour businesses. Listen to your instincts and be willing to vary your route if you sense you’re in danger. Run or walk against traffic whenever possible. Leave jewelry at home. Ignore verbal harassment. Always carry some form of personal identification in case of emergency.
