Don’t let seasonal allergies affect your fitness routine

You can still get your exercise during allergy season, as long as you're proactive.

Fall allergy season can be difficult for people who are used to getting most of their exercise outside by jogging or playing outdoor sports. In this post, we’ll share a few tips for these individuals so they aren’t completely sidelined by seasonal allergies:

Consider alternative means of fitness – It may be hard to give up your regular routine, but there are plenty of ways to burn calories and strengthen your muscles without having to spend time outside. Maybe this is the right time to join a gym or find workouts you can do in your house.

Plan ahead – Be proactive by taking your allergy medicine before you leave the house for your daily exercise. This way, you can prevent a negative reaction from happening in the first place.

Understand what triggers your allergies – If you know you’re allergic to ragweed, for example, you can do your best to avoid areas with particularly high pollen counts.

While there are certain ways to adapt your lifestyle during ragweed season, it’s impossible to avoid the irritant entirely. With this in mind, it’s a good idea for all allergy sufferers to consult a specialist who can help them figure out the best medication for their symptoms.

Another great way to limit your exposure to irritants is to invest in a home air purifier.
