WOMEN AT RISK - JOGGER SAFETY

Female Jogger

Be sure to take personal safety into consideration as you get ready for your early morning or late evening jog and walk. As you strap your iPod onto your arm and hook up your earphones - be aware of crazy predators out there looking for someone just like you - happy go lucky and maybe totally unaware of your surroundings.

When you are jogging or walking, you may not hear someone coming up behind you - especially with headphones on - so make sure you take the volume into consideration. The majority of attackers usually come from behind so when you pass someone and he smiles and waves, be aware, peer over your shoulder just to make sure he hasn't switched gears in your direction and is now behind you.

The number of women joggers/walkers who have been attacked, assaulted, and even murdered over the last five years is staggering. With proper security and safety awareness, a self-defense mindset, and carrying some type of a personal protection device(s), you can become a woman warrior on the road...to better health and safety!

Here are some personal safety jogging and walking tips to keep you safe and secure:

  • If you must jog/walk alone be aware and alert to your surroundings, especially in secluded areas. Try to walk with a partner or take your dog along.
  • Carefully check male jogger/walkers as you pass them. If you notice anything strange or you have an instinctively bad feeling, remove yourself from that situation immediately.
  • Carry some type of personal protection/safety device - like a Taser C2, Mace Pepper Spray "Hot Walkers" walking weights, Pepper Spray, or a Personal Alarm w/lights.
  • If jogging/walking during hours of darkness, wear a reflective vest so you are visible for cars or others to see.
  • If you have headphones on, make sure you can hear noise - like sirens or someone approaching you at a quick pace. Don't become so distracted with listening to your MP3 that you fail to see or hear signals of an oncoming attack.
  • Let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return. Carry a charged up cell phone with you.

Keep up your workout program of jogging or walking but be smart and always keep your personal safety first and foremost!
