ubcandid:True talk but I firmly feel that wearing earpiece on both ears should be a No -No! Awon keke marwa and Okada riders sometimes have brain-touch and use one-way o. 1 Like |

asuustrike1:but u cant jog in the gym nau.. The gym is mainly for body resistance exercise(lifting weights and pushups) and besides there's nothing better than breathing d cool mornin air when running along the road. I run towards the traffic and i dont wear any ear piece .if u do such u are safe. 1 Like |

Re: Physical Fitness Activities On The Street Of Lagos; How Safe? by Nobody: 4:27pm On Nov 21, 2018 |
lefulefu:The aim of jogging and gym is to exercise the body.They excrete sweat from your body |

It should be done on less busy roads, walk ways, open parks or inner roads. |

Jogging, or even walking on Nigeria's dangerous roads, ESPECIALLY whilst wearing earphones that render one deaf to their surroundings, should wisely be left to those with suicidal tendencies. It is perfectly possible to run in place, or skip rope like a boxer, without moving an inch, as a superb exercise regime, right inside the safety of your own home. Anyone jogging on the road shared with cars, will one day test their bones and cranium against the metal of a speeding car, so good luck with that experiment, to all who feel so inclined. 2 Likes |

lefulefu:Yes I agree but the aim is exercise the body. Do you want people to die because they are jogging on the high way |
Re: Physical Fitness Activities On The Street Of Lagos; How Safe? by Nobody: 4:46pm On Nov 21, 2018 |
asuustrike1:my brother u can even die walking on the highway. As long as u use the sidewalks with no ear piece and look very well b4 crossing u ok. But if u dont feel cool using d highway u can use d stadium sha if u have a stadium in ur city or u can jus purchase a treadmill in ur home. Though i love d cool mornin air. |

Re: Physical Fitness Activities On The Street Of Lagos; How Safe? by ubcandid(m): 5:37pm On Nov 21, 2018 |
vivaciousvivi: Yeah you are right. But I think its quite difficult jogging on the road in Lagos. I enjoy it more in uyo where the roads are wide and dawn traffic is low. |
Re: Physical Fitness Activities On The Street Of Lagos; How Safe? by Nobody: 5:41pm On Nov 21, 2018 |
Instead of doing this, why not buy few sports equipment and be safe? Joggers indeed |
Re: Physical Fitness Activities On The Street Of Lagos; How Safe? by Delivar(m): 5:49pm On Nov 21, 2018 |
free2ryhme:Same way you can be hit while walking on the road to somewhere. No difference. |

sassysure:and how many average nigerians can afford to buy a sports equipment. The threadmill does not come cheap and neither does a weight bench equipment and other sports equipment come cheap. They are damm expensive for d average nigerian. The cheapest u can get is buy a pair of running sneakers with joggers and sports shirt and u good to go. |

HarryDuce:Will you rather sit down inside the house, grow fat, angry and aggressive then explode your anger on others living with you? Go out there and do your exercise O! A lot of tensions are built up due to lack of exercise. Watching the SCREENS 1. Phone Screen 2. TV Screen 3. PC Screen 4. Tablet Screen. ALL DAY 24/7 2 Likes |

Re: Physical Fitness Activities On The Street Of Lagos; How Safe? by Nobody: 8:29pm On Nov 21, 2018 |
lefulefu:They are not expensive at all. If they can buy expensive phones that they don't use more than 2 yrs, then why not invest in sports equipments? Gym ball can do a lot. U can stay in ur house and jump rope. How expensive are these? U can jog around your compound if you so desire to do that but on roads without pedestrian walk isn't safe. They can brisk walk, it's better |

ubcandid: Can i just add that even when merely walking down any road, always walk in opposite direction to traffic flow. Last week, a truck could not stop on time due to bad break and with a vehicle in front swerved off the road to avoid hitting it. But a lady was there, the truck hit her and then climbed on her. |
