Exercising at Night - 5 Tips for Safety
Categories: Fitness
Daylight Savings Time is upon us (well, most of us -- if you live in Arizona or Indianapolis, or any other place that just doesn't acknowledge DST, I guess you aren't included). And while that means we have an extra hour of light at night, it also means that summer is approaching. As the temperatures get warmer and warmer, many of us move our runs and walks later and later in the day to avoid the heat. However, if you're moving it too late, you could find yourself exercising in the dark.
And that's not entirely a bad thing -- if you have a clear, safe path, a nighttime outing could be a wonderful change of pace. However, it's important that you make sure you're being as safe as possible -- check out the gallery below for tips, or read up on all the advice that Active.com has to offer.

Actually, Indiana has had DST for a few years now. About 50% of the population hates it and 50 % thinks it is good. Although, they put us on Eastern time, which is ridiculous...how can Indianapolis be in the same time zone as Washington D.C.? We should be with Chicago. Sorry, just venting. Guess which 50% I'm with? :)

Ah, my bad. I knew most of the state was on it, but I had friends living in Indianapolis a couple of years ago and their time didn't change, but, obviously, that's no longer the case. Thanks for speaking up!
