In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some of their favorite tips on using pepper spray. Pepper spray has been shown to keep you safe when you are in danger. If you are accosted by a person you should aim the spray at their face from 6-8 feet away then run like the Fat Guy is chasing you away from the dangerous situation. You can also use pepper spray when you are walking or running in areas where their might be wild animals. Fog sprays are not as effective as stream sprays which are more concentrated and tend to work better. Remember the spray is just a means to to give you time to get away and run to safety – it will not permanently disable the attacker or animal. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some of their favorite playground safety tips. Playgrounds are agreat place for a kid to learn about the joy of play but you have to be careful – 15 children die on playgrounds each year and countless others suffer unnecessary injuries. After it rains remember things get slippery and more difficult to balance on. Make sure one child ata time is going down the slide – this is an area where a lot of kids get hurt when one kid goes up the slide the wrong way while another kid is sliding down. Don’t go barefoot – there could be sharp objects buried under the soft ground cover. Watch for splinters along wooden rails. And always keep an eye open for swing people and object – nothing ruins play time faster than a kid getting whacked inthe head by someone on the swings. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
