[Real-time] haze days gym sports more unsafe choice of road running recommended wearing masks

Heavy haze best not to run outdoors

In recent times, the most severe haze weather since the winter has been encountered everywhere. Although the weather in the eastern part of China will usher in strong winds and cool weather, the haze in the Huanghuai and other places in northern China will gradually diminish and dissipate. However, in the winter, hazy days can't be ignored.

For runners and hobbyists, smog and air pollution limit the pace of our running. Then the question is coming. Shouldn't we exercise after the hazy days? How to exercise? Especially when the indoor air quality is poor, what should we do when we exercise?

Indoor exercise also pay attention

In the case of severe haze, many runners with exercise habits will choose to exercise indoors, but there is also stress in the interior.

First, you'd better not go to indoor public gyms, badminton halls, basketball halls, and other venues. The expert's suggestion is, please exercise in your own home!

Second, your preparation is not simple before you exercise at home.

First of all, it is necessary to keep the doors and windows tightly closed to reduce the rate of penetration of air pollutants from outdoor to indoor and reduce the indoor PM2.5 concentration. Afterwards, you need to “dust removal” and you can choose an indoor air purifier with a brand reputation. You should also put more green plants in the room.

Third, the choice of sports is important. It is necessary to choose the exercise that does not need to increase the breathing volume as much as possible, mainly for the flexibility, coordination, balance and other aspects of exercise.

Female friends can choose to do yoga, Pilates, a small amount of skipping; men can do some strength training, such as push-ups, pick up, but also with dumbbells, barbells, chest and other auxiliary equipment exercise.

Choose a road run, it is recommended to wear a mask

Many runners have long-term road running habits. In mild fog, they still choose to wear masks for outdoor sports. However, not all masks can help you to resist bad weather. This is why many people wear them. In the case of masks, there are still uncomfortable reactions such as sore throats and coughing after exercise.

Friendly reminder: If you experience heavy haze days, you really better not to exercise or run outdoors.
