Personal Safety When Working Out Outside

Hi friend, I hope you are having a most awesome day.


I know I am always preaching to move your body, eat your veggies
and drink water. But, there is something else I don’t talk about
much but it is just as important if not MORE – SAFETY when
exercising.


The news has been filled of late of tragedy striking young women
as they run in their neighborhoods.  And, they were doing it
“right”; jogging in the daylight, running in the “good”
neighborhoods.


I started thinking about my own safety.  Sometimes, I run
outside by myself (not often, but I have done it). What would I
do if someone approached me with the intent to harm? I don’t
carry a weapon. I don’t carry pepper spray (which, after this
podcast, I am ordering some!) and I do not know any karate moves.


So, I decided to reach out to someone with over thirty years of
experience with safety and protection.


Friends, please allow me to introduce you to Police Chief Steve
Lewis.  He is the police chief with the Ellisville Police
Department in St. Louis, MO.  Not only does he have decades
of experience, he actually interviews criminals after they are
incarcerated and asks them questions so he can provide US with
the intel we need to lessen our odds of becoming a victim.


If you have any time today, I so encourage you to listen to this
week’s episode.  Not only does the chief share the best
strategies to protect ourselves, he also shares the following:


- How a nose booger, (yep, I said nose booger) saved a woman’s
life.


- How the Electric Slide can provide you with a getaway.


- How to use your car as a weapon.


- The NUMBER one thing women need to know to put the odds ever in
our favor :)


As always, I want you to know how much I appreciate you.  I
love all your suggestions, your ideas and your comments! Please
keep connecting with me and I will continue to bring you the best
content on the planet! Too dramatic?  Okay, the bestest
fitness, nutrition, safety intel in the world.  Still too
big? How ‘bout I’ll just keep podcasting as long as you keep
listening?  Yea, that’s better.


Have a fabulous rest of your day and stay SAFE!


Smiles,
Lori
