Take care before you start to jog If this is the summer you're going to get in shape by jogging, St. John Ambulancejfas some tips to help you make sure you don't do yourself any harm, particularly if you're not used to exercise. A lot of mystique .has grown up around the exercise, but basic, common sense rules still apply. Begin by checking with your family physician to find out whether you're in shape for jogging. Find out what kind of exercises you can do to get into condition before you actually run, and what kind of warm up you should do immediately before each run. Start gradually, don't overdo. You may be tired when you finish your run, but you shouldn't be exhausted. Dress sensibly. Wear good footwear that fits you properly. Wear loose clothing, sweat suits or shorts; restrictive clothing can cause friction burns. Wear woollen socks that will absorb perspiration. In hot weather, wear a brimmed hat or an eyeshade. The best time to jog is in the cool of the morning or evening. Wait at least ati hour and a half after a heavy meal. If you do feel any distress, walk f a while, and breathe deeply. If you get a blister, , don't puncture Wash your foot wel.�; ldryItthoroughly, and if necessary, cover,it with a dry dressing. If it does come opt guard against infection by washing it and covering it with a clean dressing. The best first aid treatment beyond that is to rest with your washed and dried foot elevated and exposed to air. 1111111 1111111 1 INCH 11 1111 SHOP Fr 11111111211111111 OODEIfrCH' SIGMA T'AB, WEDNPDAY, AUGt)$T 15, 1984 -,PAGE a , 1O% Off all New Full Merchandise Aug. 1.5, 16, 17, 18 All remaining summer stock 1/2 price or better savin s GODERICH OLD TIMERS HOCKEY LEAGUE MEETING Players, Coaches, Managers meeting to discuss and organize the 1984-85 season.
