As a sports enthusiast who starts his activities early in the morning, I admit that jogging at night seemed unappealing at first. I guess it’s because I got so used to feeling the warmth of the sun while I jog, run, or play sports. But after trying it out at the end of a stressful day, I realized that night jogging is an excellent stress reliever.

While night jogging is a great way to unwind after a long day at work, it also comes with some safety risks. To help you exercise with ease, here are some safety tips you should consider:

Plan your route. To avoid busy roads or unsafe areas, you must choose a route where all areas are well-lit. Also, running against traffic will make you more visible to motorists.
Wear clothing that would make you more visible. When jogging at night, wearing bright-colored clothes and reflective gear are important to prevent you from getting hit by motorists. Also, you should carry an I.D. with you in case there is an emergency.

Change your route from time to time. This is especially important when you’re jogging in an isolated area because you might be a target of potential attackers.
Jog with someone. Having a jogging partner or group is always safer than jogging alone. Remember, there is safety in numbers.
