While it is great to get out and engage in activities to stay fit, it is also common for injuries to occur. There are steps you can take to reduce your chances of becoming injured.

Drink Healthy Liquids

The more water you drink while engaging in activities, the less likely you are to experience cramping and heat exhaustion or stroke. By staying properly hydrated, you keep your muscles healthy and lubricated. Water also helps stabilize your body temperature so that the heat doesn't harm you.

Wear Equipment That Protects You

Many outdoor activities become much safer to participate in if you use protective equipment. This means if you go jogging, you need supportive shoes. If your preferred activity is riding a bike, never do it without wearing a helmet and proper padding.

Stretch Before Engaging in Physical Activities

Before and after you participate in any physical activities it is important to stretch properly. This helps loosen the ligaments, muscles, and joints, making it less likely you will suffer from an injury. By loosening up certain parts of your body first, you make physical activities easier.
