Many of us don’t have the time to exercise during the light hours. Now-a-days people travel long distance to work, forcing them to wake up in the wee hours in the morning and coming home late at night. For this reason, many of them are force to squeeze in their exercise routine before they go to work or after they arrive home. During these hours is when it is most dangerous to exercise outdoors because it’s barely light out and they have to be more aware of danger situation around them. Because of this, it is imperative to follow safety rules and wear exercise gear to keep them safe!
Tips To Stay Safe:
- use exercise gear that lights up
- use light/bright reflective clothing
- carry your cell phone
- bring your dog along if you’re walking
- have an exercise partner
- carry pepper spay
- move against the flow of traffic, so you are aware of oncoming traffic
- don’t wear headphones so that you can hear if anyone is following you or a car is coming towards you
- be alert at all times

4id Products I tested Out: ›Durable enough to withstand inclement weather while keeping you safe‹
- PowerStepz is a LED light that response to your movement. It basically lights up with every step you take. You simply insert it on your laces.
- PowerArmz is a lightweight, adjustable LED light armband. It has two available settings pulse and continuous. With the pulse setting the device will stay lit and with the continuous setting the device will blink continuously.
- PowerSpurz – is a lightweight, LED light up Heel. This exercise gear slides conveniently on to the back of your shoe and glows. Just like the PowerArmz, this device also has the pulse and continuous settings.
I use the PowerSpurz to walk my 4 dogs. Rocco (in the video) seems to like it because he is able to see where he is going when I don’t use the flash light outside. Also, I am able to see him better.
Finally, as I stated earlier, 4id and I are hosting a giveaway here on my blog. The winner will receive all the products above (the PowerArmz| PowerSpurz| PowerStepz). The rules are listed below in order to be eligible for this prize.

You’re welcome Christina and good luck! 😀
Very interesting product. Thanks for sharing. A lot of people would love this.
Agree Delaine! 🙂
There are times wherein I go jogging at night instead of in the morning, the weather is much more bearable and it’s easier because there’s less traffic. I think it’s important to invest in a gear that will keep you safe!
It sure is Elizabeth 😀
I love that this company are trying to raise awareness of how dangerous exercising in little light can be.
I agree Ana 🙂
Some great ideas, I run in the dark quite often, especially in the winter. I love the arm band.
It sure is a great idea Azlin 😀
I always wanted to jog at night with my hubby because it is our only free time. Good to know that there is a gear like this that we can use.
Yes it is Nicole 😀
Frequently I see runners in our neighborhood who are in dark clothing and can’t be seen at night. It always scares me.
I know especially now when a lot of people are texting and driving Stephanie. Anyone can get hit easily!
It scares me running at night! This is great stuff!!
Thank you Christine 😀
The most I’ve done in the dark (in terms of working out) is a few mountain bike rides on city streets. I probably should have worn reflective gear when doing it. I like the clip-on lights.
I love riding mountain bikes too but never done it on city streets. 🙂
where are the rules? is it open to Canadians? thx
I apologize Rosi, no US only.
This is such a clever idea! I always get nervous about being out when the sun goes down!
Me too Shannon! 😀
very interesting post !!! Happy Wednesday !!
Thank you Carolinal, same to you 😀
