It is springtime again and many of us will finally be able to get outside to play again. But with more outdoor activities comes security issues.

If you are a woman planning on running or jogging alone in parks, one thing that isn’t the best idea. But many of you may not be able to find a partner to jog/walk with that fits your schedule.

If that is the case then you need to be extra vigilant in your security precautions. For example, if you plan on walking/jogging as I have stated before do NOT wear headphones and jam.

Women that can’t hear their attackers coming because of music are perfect targets for attack. Another thing is where you run, if you must run alone, parks aren’t necessarily the best choice.

It would be worth the price just to join a fitness center with a run track so you can run/walk alone with music on and not fear attacks. But if you choose to stay outside and be alone then you need to stay away from areas someone can hide and jump out.

You should stay in very public areas where you are easily seen by others. There is some other things you can do. We have the Mace Hot Walkers which are real weights for walking or running but they have pepper spray built into one of the dumbbells.

No one will know you have your self protection with you until it is too late for them. You can see them here Mace Hot Walkers.

Good luck and stay safe out there!
