Sidewalk safety
Spring can be a tricky time of year to be active outside. The melting and thawing cycle can leave sidewalks and paths covered with patches of ice. If you want to be active outside, consider buying a pair of slip-on grips or adding a pick to the end of your walking stick. You could also go to a park where there are snow-packed trails or head inside to a shopping mall. Many malls have organized mall walking groups.
