Trail Conditions

Certain routes that you’ve been avoiding all summer long because they’re dry and dusty are rideable again in the fall, but persecutions should be taken. Autumn rains can actually do biking trails some good, but give them a day or two to dry out so they wouldn’t be too slippery.

Packing Properly

Waterproof windbreakers layered with other clothes are a must when it comes to mountain biking adventures in the fall. It’s also important to pack everything else you need in your backpack because weather can be pretty unpredictable and you never know if you’ll need an extra pair of socks or helmet cap.

Extra Caution

Some things you wouldn’t even be thinking about in spring and summer are worth considering when it comes to fall rides. It’s important to head out early because you’ll run out of daylight pretty fast. You should also make sure that the lights on your handlebar and hamlet are working in case you have to illuminate your path.

Right Weight

Working out with a weighted hula hoop is pretty safe as long as the weight you’re using fits your strength and fitness level. If you’re still a beginner, it’s better to start working with a lighter hoop and add weight as you go along to avoid pain and potential injuries, especially if you have a history of lower back pain.

Limited Time

Constant repetitive use of this trendy equipment piece can also lead to bruising and pain. There’s really no need to work out for more than 20 minutes per session, especially if you have zero experience with hula hooping, and it’s even recommended to start with regular hula hoops in that case.

Good Form

No piece of equipment is 100% safe if you’re not exercising with good form, and weighted hula hoops are no different. It’s important to remember to keep your chest up, your ribs down and prevent your shoulders from rounding forward, so you wouldn’t put too much pressure on your lower back.

Take It Slow

You may be tempted to quickly go through your post-workout stretches so you could finally bring your workout to a close, but this won’t do you any good. Take things slow and go at your own pace since you’re not stretching to put more tension on your body, but to relax.

Steady Motions

There’s no need for quick and forceful movements when it comes to abs stretches. This is especially true if you’re feeling tightness and soreness after doing a series of demanding abs exercises. If that happens, limit the range of motion while stretching for best results.

Know Your Limits

Stretching is not a competition and you’re doing it to relax, not to prove your fitness abilities. After your workout is done, and you get ready for the cool-down, remember you should only go to the point of tension when doing your abs stretches because you might get injured if you push too far.

Messy Space

Working out in a messy space isn’t only bad for your motivation, but for your safety, as well. Make sure to de-clutter your designated workout space so you wouldn’t be bumping or tripping over things in the middle of your routine.

No Warm-Up and Cool-Down

Many people working out at home do it because that’s the only way to fit exercises into their busy schedule. If you’re short on time, you may be tempted to skip warm-up and cool-down, but this is one mistake you should never make. They should be an essential part of your routine because they allow you to prepare your body for what comes next.

No Guidance

Working out with the incorrect form can also be a safety hazard. You can avoid this mistake by booking a couple of classes with a personal trainer, working out to videos that guide you through each exercise, and checking your form by training in front of a mirror.

Right Skates

Not all skates are created equal and picking a pair that doesn’t suit you may lead to frequent falls. After making the choice between the quad and inline roller skates based on the type of activity that you want to practice, make sure they offer comfort and ankle support.

Helmet

A helmet may not look fancy in your rollerblading TikToks, but wearing one is absolutely a must. You should consider investing in a helmet designed specifically for inline skating and skateboarding since they come down lower in the back. It’s extremely important to properly fasten your chin straps and make sure your helmet fits properly.

Knee, Wrist, and Elbow Pads

Falls will be a common occurrence if you’re still new to rollerblading. Knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards can protect you from potential injuries by covering your skin and cushioning your bones.

Check the Weather

Trail running is popular in early fall when temperatures are still mild, but you should check the weather forecast before each run. In addition to making it more difficult to run, the rain will make the trails wet and slippery, putting you at risk of falls and injuries.

Watch Your Step

Even if it’s not raining outside, it’s still important to watch your step during your runs. Trails will be covered with fallen leaves, with rocks, holes, and roots hidden underneath. You could trip at any point if you’re not being extra careful and paying close attention to your foot placement.

Pick the Right Clothing

Hunting season usually kicks off in the fall. If hunting is common in your area, make sure to stay safe by wearing brightly colored clothing. You should also remember to dress in layers because temperatures tend to change quickly once the fall arrives.

Extra Protection

Dozens of viral clips on TikTok probably made you think you don’t need any safety equipment to rollerblade, but that’s definitely not the case. Helmets are a must, but you can also protect yourself from cuts and bruises by wearing knee and elbow pads or wrist guards.

Traffic Rules

You should make sure to obey traffic lights and signs while rollerblading, be aware of your surroundings, and try your best to avoid pedestrians walking on the same path or trail. By doing so, you’ll protect both yourself and others from harm.

Right Place, Right Time

It’s also extremely important to select safe skating locations, especially if you’re still new to rollerblading. Avoid uneven surfaces and debris so you wouldn’t slip and fall, and do not skate at night unless you’re wearing reflective clothing.

Ask For Help

Before you fully commit yourself to your home workouts, try to have a couple of classes with a certified personal trainer. They’ll show you how to do the exercises properly, point out the mistakes you’re making, and guide you in the right direction.

Mirror, Mirror

Try to have a full-length mirror at your home gym, because there’s no better way to check if you’re doing the moves with incorrect form. This is one of the most common causes of pain and injuries, and a mirror will help you correct yourself and get things right.

Add Variety

Many people make a mistake of focusing on one area of their body they’re unsatisfied with, but variety is extremely important. You’re reducing the risk of injury by working different muscle groups and changing up your routine.

Obeying Road Rules

Many cyclists get in trouble because they’re riding on the wrong side of the road, not using hand signaling and ignoring basic road rules. Make sure to get familiar with these rules before hitting the road.

Good Visibility

You can avoid getting injured by making sure everyone else can easily spot you. Opt for brightly colored clothing, have lights fitted to the back and front of your bike, and always make sure you’re wearing a helmet.

Regular Checks

If you have a habit of going on long rides, make sure your bike is in good shape before embarking on your journey. Lubricate the chain and cables on a regular basis, and visit your local bike shop if there’s anything you can’t fix on your own.

Sun Protection

It’s difficult to tell how much time you’re going to spend playing volleyball on the beach, so don’t leave anything to chance. Wearing sunscreen is a must, and you should also consider wearing a hat and sunglasses if you’re super-sensitive.

Safe Terrain

Some beaches come with sand volleyball courts, but that’s not always the case. If you’re not able to find one, but want to play anyway, make sure to find a clean section of the beach, and look for potential safety hazards, such as plastic and broken glass.

Going Barefoot?

Most people play this sport barefoot because they’re not wearing shoes on the beach anyway, but it’s not always the best idea. If you notice that this activity is putting too much stress on your feet, consider buying a pair of sun socks, since they’ll help you prevent sores and blisters.
