Exercise Safety Tips: Stay Safe During Workouts
Outdoor Exercise Safety
Outdoor Hazards: Consider safety factors specific to outdoor exercise.
- Running at night or in low light conditions requires high-visibility clothing, a running light, and a head torch to remain visible to others.
- Be mindful of traffic and uneven terrain to avoid accidents.
Indoor Exercise Safety
Indoor Environment: Stay safe while exercising indoors.
- Regulate temperature to avoid extremes that can affect performance and health.
- Ensure gym floors are clear of trip hazards such as weights; store unused equipment properly.
Managing Sweat
Sweat Management: Prevent accidents due to sweat during intense workouts.
- After intense exercise, especially in activities like spinning or cycling, clean up any sweat on shiny surfaces promptly to prevent slip hazards.
- Use a dry towel and disinfectant spray to maintain cleanliness.
