Happy Spring Everyone!!! 

Spring weather is finally starting to break through and it is getting warm enough to be outside.  Just a couple of quick tips before you take your workout outside:

• Make sure you remember to warm up and cool down.
  • Warming up and cooling down are essential for any workout, but often times, we neglect them when we go outside. Make sure to take your run or bike ride at a slower pace until your body warms up.  Slow the pace down again when you cool down.  Add some stretching at the end.
• Wear bright colors at dawn or dusk.
  • Bright colors make it easier to be seen, especially when the sun is not up. Think safety first!
• Make sure you put on sun screen & stay hydrated!
