Watch Your Step!
UNEVEN GROUND
You should always watch your step during physical activities outdoors. Uneven pathways, potholes and loose walkways are all hazards when exercising outside. Take the time to assess what is ahead of you to reduce injury.

LEAF COVERAGE
As leaves fall and line streets, sidewalks and pathways, make sure to watch your step as you engage in physical activity. Leaves can be slippery, especially when wet. This increases risk of falls and possible injuries.

LESS SUNLIGHT
As fall and winter approach, sunlight hours get shorter. This means less visibility during outside activities, especially in the mornings and evenings. Take necessary precautions, such as bringing lighting equipment (e.g., headlamp or flashlight), to increase your visibility.
