embrace yourself with some common sense

 tips .

#1 – Always wear comfortable shoes and 

socks. 



Do not wear high heels, slippers or boots when 

walking the stairs or in the park.

 Inappropriate shoes attire will cause you to trip 

and fall down or hurt yourself .

In most incidents, most walkers sprained their 

ankles. 

Wear socks and jogging shoes if your are

 jogging in the park.

Wear sandals that cover up your toes in order 

to protect stones, broken glasses from hurting

 your feet.

Never wear slippers even for brisk walking.

#2 –  Wear loose fitting, lightweight and 

comfortable clothes. 

 

T-shirts, singlets, light cotton fabric clothes

 and shorts enable your walking exercise more 

enjoyable.

it will induce rashes as it rubs against your 

sweat.

Wear cotton long pants or jogging pants to 

protect your legs and knees from abrasion in 

case you fall down.

You can also hang a long face towel around

 your neck if you perspire a lot.

Tight clothes such as silk or thick cotton clothes 

are not suitable and increase the weight onto 

your body. 

 

#3 – Stick to places you are familiar with. 

Choose a park, playground or housing area that

 is not isolated and well lit.

Make sure that these walking locations are safe 

with other walkers or joggers in order to protect 

yourself from muggers and avoid robbers.


Make sure that you are familiar with these

 locations, where is the exit and always park

 your vehicle close to you.




#4- Avoid path holes and crack pathways 

Always look at the signboard for any new

 notifications about the park.

Look out for path holes and cracked

 pathways. 

Never step on them which may lead you to

 unexpected accidents.

Break a tree branch with leaves , stuck it into

 the holes to warn other walkers and joggers

 about the danger.

If possible, inform the park office about the 

path holes so that they could repair them fo

the safety of the people.

 

 

#5- At the end of your walking, slow down the 

pace.

Reduce the speed of your walk or jog before

 your final lap.

Allow your legs and body muscles to relax.

This will help you to prevent spasms and muscle

 sores. 


Otherwise, you will strain your muscles ,feel

 unbearable sore on the next day and 

experience muscle cramps instead.

    • Brisk walking is the only exercise that I can do. You don't need to plan like in the gym. A daily brisk walking is enough to make oneself fit. It doesn't always go for strenuous exercises since I am not planning to increase my muscle bulk. Of course, we need also to consider eating healthy food.
