Pepper Spray for Outdoor Workout Protection

As more and more people become health conscious and have their workouts outdoors, the more they realize that they need personal protection. Here is where Mace Jogger Pepper Spray steps in!

I don't know about you, but while I exercise by speed walking and pass block after block thru my neighborhood, I can't help but think that some pervert might decide to follow me one day. OK, maybe I'm being paranoid, but better that, than becoming a victim. I carry my Mace Jogger Pepper Spray, during my fresh air escapades. Carrying pepper spray while I exercise, makes my workouts more enjoyable, because I can focus on the scenery instead of fearing for my life.

The Mace Jogger was made for the protection of people that exercise outside. It has a velcro strap that keeps it snugly and conveniently in your hand. It also has a key chain to attach your home and car keys. Not only is it convenient to have when you exercise, but it's also handy for when you are out and about, during errands, riding a bus, walking thru a parking lot or college campus. When you use this weapon, it can reach 8 to 12 feet away! It contains 18 grams of pepper solution. That's enough to shoot up to 20, short bursts. The flip top safety cap and convenient, finger grip handle, make it very ergonomic too!

So if you like to workout outdoors and are a runner, jogger, walker like me, or simply get around town a lot, this is the ideal and handy, Mace pepper spray to carry, for your personal protection!

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!
