Yesterday afternoon we had some pretty serious thunderstorms blow through. This is a common occurrence in our area during the summer and something that we all need to be aware of. Planning your workouts for the morning can help you avoid having to miss scheduled outdoor exercise because of summer storms. Or, looking for indoor alternatives (Jacobs Fitness Center has great equipment and an indoor pool) can help you get your afternoon workout in if a storm pops up.
It's important to try and stay indoors if there is a storm or even a storm warning. If you do get caught outside in a thunderstorm try to find a building for shelter. If there are no buildings nearby, stay away from tall objects like trees and towers and also try to avoid being near anything made of metal.
Exercising outside during the summer can be great, but just make sure you are safe if a storm pops up.
