Protect Yourself While Jogging

While I was in the Navy, physical fitness was a real big part of being a sailor

. Or really should say that fitness in all branches of military service is a major part of military life. Every year the Navy standards of physical fitness had to be met. The Army, Marine Corp, and Air Force had their own standards of fitness. The toughest of all the standards is the Marine Corps.

When I finally retired after 22 years, even in civilian life there has been a big push for a healthy lifestyles. This has included what we eat and also a daily physical work out program. Doctors suggest this but most of all health insurance companies do also too.

With all of this in mind, a big part of physical fitness programs is jogging. While jogging one most take precautions to protect themselves and pay attention to their surroundings while jogging. Being aware of the people around and what they are doing can be one of biggest safe protection techniques one can take.

Never jog alone! Safety in numbers is really a great why of warding off any attackers or even rapists. Each person can protect each other. Watching each others back is a excellent way of ensuring jogging safety.

I have seen joggers jog with a baseball bat even when they are jogging in familiar areas. That can ward off an attacker but if the bat is used on an attacker that can cause physical body damage. It could even cause death. Why not carry a non-leathal defense weapon like a Stun Mater 100000 Volt Stun Gun. This can be carried around the neck, in your hand, or even in a holster. Ready for use. This will put an attacker down in a few seconds and will give one time to get out of the situation and contact the police.

Avoid jogging in secluded areas or rough neighborhoods. This gives the attacker chances of hiding in areas and attacking one without witnesses being around. An attacker can rob or rape the jogger and quietly get away with the crime. Having a self defense non-leathal defensive weapon can be a good choice to carry. Using a whistle, if attacked, can startle the attacker away. What is even better is a Mace Screecher Aerosol Alarm which emits an ear-piercing 125dB shriek that repels people and animals and is readily recognized as an emergency call for help.

Never jog alone after dark and wear a reflective vest when it is dark out. Night time is when the attackers come for they do like the cover of darkness. Darkness makes it easier to attack, rob, rape, and even kill another person. With all of this it makes it so much easier for the attacker. Avoiding darkness and jogging during the daytime can help the jogger. Jogging with a partner can help the odds of not being attacked. Carrying a pepper spray such as Wildfire 18% Pepper Stream Spray 4 Oz can help a jogger survive an attack. The pepper spray will burn the eyes and the more the attacker rubs the eyes the worse it hurts. This can cause the attacker to lose eye sight for about 15 minutes giving the jogger time to get out of the situation and to safety.

We recommend carrying non-leathal defensive weapons. Deadly weapons such as hand guns or knives kill people but non-leathal weapons do not kill. That gives a very safe alternative.
