Dr. Fitness Gives His Top Tips For Spring Fever Exercisers and Allergy Sufferers

Spring Time represents an increase in outdoor activities but for many who suffer from allergies, this can be a miserable time of the year. Here are some tips for dealing with allergies!!!!!
-Always warm up and stretch indoors
-Consider exercising indoors or at the beach, where ocean breezes help keep the pollen count low
-Plan your exercise around pollen. Pollen can be highest during the hours of 5 am to 10 am and is often carried back to the earth by cooler air between 5 pm to 9 pm.
-Exercise after a rain if you have pollen allergies (but not if you are allergic to molds!)
-Avoid exercising in or near fields or meadows
-When ozone, smog, or other pollution levels are high (typically in the afternoon), avoid vigorous outdoor activity
-Don’t exercise on congested roads or during rush hour—pollution levels can be elevated within 50 feet of the roadway
-Consider taking up swimming—something you can do indoors all year long
