| Make sure it is an N95 mask (as I am not sure this article | |
| discusses the proper kinds of masks) | |
| Masked Man did his little typical masked run/jog today. Ive been | |
| exercising Bicycling/running in safety mask for about six years | |
| straight now with no problems, I haven't contracted any airborne | |
| illnesses whatsoever for about six years since Ive masked | |
| outdoors and in public since pandemic began around 2020. | |
| There's a bonus here to wearing a mask besides preventing | |
| illness. Its nasty out there in real life. In real life cars | |
| pass by from time to time blowing fumes out their tailpipes, | |
| There is construction going on. The crew down the street is | |
| burning wood on a construction site.. there's all this dust off | |
| the construction trucks... people mow grass all the time and | |
| that triggers a lot of pollen dust in the air for many of us. | |
| ...My masks is helping me with all that too while I run a mile | |
| or so on my road. It feels great not breathing in all that | |
| stuff. I wear a mask but I don't wear a shirt which makes me | |
| feel free and cool because my lack of shirt keeps my body | |
| cool... | |
| Also I got earbuds listening to electric guitar while I exercise | |
| and those earbuds protect my ears from the occasional loud | |
| construction vehicle or loud trucks that go by when one least | |
| expects it. | |
| I don't breathe any of that stuff in and I got a good workout | |
| and of course I am protected from maskless people... been doing | |
| it for years now in my mask and wouldn't dream of doing it any | |
| differently! | |
| That's what I love about the mask it not just protects me from | |
| all airborne viruses it reduces fumes , allergens, dust and | |
| everything else that takes it toll out on us out there in the | |
| real world. Like I said been wearing a safety mask for about six | |
| years now and quality of life and happiness is better for me | |
| than before 2020 when I didn't wear mask publicly and outdoors. | |
| Yet an even better reason to exercise while masking is that it | |
| sort of trains you to be more comfortable when you mask for | |
| other occasions. If you can mask while exercising you can | |
| certainly enter a public area with confidence when your heart | |
| rate is lower and masking while reading a book in a hospital | |
| room is easy if you already stress tested your mask while | |
| running or using mask while exerting yourself in some vigorous | |
| manner. | |
