After Dinner Night Walks? Make Sure You Have the LED Light Arm Band, Available in 6 Colors!

Many of us walk after dinner to feel less full or bloated. But have you considered that walking at night makes it hard for drivers to see you? Dangerous is for sure an understatement!

Did you know that WomenOnGuard.com has safety units for those casual after dinner walks? It’s called the LED Light Arm Band. They are very convenient to have, since drivers will notice the small lights moving and know you are present. Plus, you can also make the LED light "flash" at the same time, which makes it even more obvious that you’re around. Great for walking, jogging or running at night!

Unfortunately many neighborhood streets don’t have sidewalks anymore! Making it dangerous for pedestrians to enjoy an after dinner walk.

So, if you want to take a night stroll around your block, consider buying the LED Light Arm Band unit to place on your arm. It will allow drivers to notice you, preventing accidents. Perfect for walking, jogging or running at night and available in 6 colors: White, Blue, Red, Green Yellow and Pink!

It's A No Brainer To Still Go To A Gym And Exercise!

This blog information has been collected from various articles. It is not to imply that  following the statements below, will prevent or cure Alzheimer’s.

Many women and men go to gyms for workouts. Probably because of all the commercials and ads you see from fitness centers.

Let’s open our minds here, for a few minutes... Unless you are planning to lift over a hundred pounds on a daily basis, all you really need is to just have some nice muscle tone. Just enough strength to pick up a baby, laundry basket, clean your home or wash your car! You get the idea…

But there is also another aspect to consider; having a sharp mind… That’s right, a sharp mind. Many people now a days also worry about their brains as well. Especially as you get older and the Alzheimer’s epidemic! Doing pushups or lifting weights, over and over again, is not going to give men or women a sharp mind. The brain needs to be stimulated.

The best way to exercise is to use your muscles AND stimulate your brain. Therefore, an activity such as walking or running outdoors or in a mall if the weather outside is bad, seems to be more helpful for your body and mind. Think about it… You have to watch your step, keep an eye out for cars, watch for sidewalk bumps, pass and wave to new people, breath fresh air from the trees outdoors… In order to not fall over, you have to be alert of your surroundings and that involves using your brain. You see new things, not just a pair of handles on your elliptical all the time. It's good for your mind! The more you engage your brain and see or notice different things while you are walking or running, the better. Plus, you can exercise in different places, like parks, beaches or any other place you might want to explore! Reading a book or magazine, wouldn’t hurt either…

Doing the exact same thing over and over is like being a hamster on a wheel. We are not saying that walking or running outdoors will prevent women or men from getting Alzheimer’s, but it will stimulate you mentally! Exercise and explore the neighborhood, a change of scenery is good. It’s better for your body and your brain...

Safety for Our Active Lifestyles

Just because some of us love to be outdoors doing our physical training exercises, instead of being inside a gym or fitness center, doesn't mean that we don't care about our personal safety!

We can go walking, running, jogging or simply stay active and still be aware of our self defense needs. Fitness is very important for all of us and most of us would rather be active outside, in the fresh air, rather than inside.

If you are a serious athlete and your training requires you to go running or jogging, you should carry a self defense product. You can be harassed by just a dog, that constantly chases you, or people that in all honesty, are probably jealous of your fitness dedication!

Most of us are suppose to practice some sort of fitness training, to stay active and healthy. We don't need to go running or jogging, simply walking everyday outdoors would suffice for many of us. There is no excuse to not go around the block a couple of times. Perhaps take a stroll after dinner. "Too dark, night time can be scary", you say? Well again, taking a self defense product, should take care of that too.

Check out our self defense products such as Muzzle, for pesky dogs, Mace Hot Walkers, for those of you who require in your training to use weights, Mace Jogger for walkers or runners or simply, good old pepper spray. Go out and enjoy the Spring and the wonderful smell of gardenias too!

Personal Safety While Running, Jogging or Walking

It's that time of the year when your winter hibernation ends and your outdoor adventures begin. It's nice to breathe fresh air and give your treadmill or elliptical a rest! Nothing is better than running free down a dirt road, through trails or just jogging through your neighborhood. We all love to be outside with nature. I guess it brings back that child in us, to explore.

In order to achieve your full potential, you shouldn't have fearful thoughts cross your mind. Unfortunately it is no secret that us women should be careful when we are alone in public. Just as you buckle your seatbelt without really thinking about it when you get into your car, you should also take some sort of personal safety weapon in your workout escapades. Yes, I'm talking about the good old pepper spray. Whether it is the Mace brand, Streetwise 17% or the PepperBall HotShot brands, carrying one of them while you are walking, jogging or running, will help you focus more on your workout rather than on your personal safety. Most pepper sprays have a keychain that you can attach to your keys. It's as simple as just having it with your keys as you lock your home's front door, to start your workout. Why protect yourself only when you get into a car?

There are many pepper sprays on the market today, some come with hand straps and flashlights. Others double as walking weights, for those of you who want to build muscle as you walk! There are even some that look like pagers, lipstick, etc.

Personal safety should never be an issue when you are jogging, running or walking outdoors!
