A big mistake that people make when it comes to jogging or even going to work; is being routine about it. If you follow the same path every day, you are more likely to become a target. Attackers often take the time to stalk their victims until they can actually know what you are going to do next, even if you do not realize that is what you are doing.

In the case of the jogger, you want to be sure to go different routes that are well lit and whenever possible, have houses on them of people that you know. These are called safe houses or locations where you are likely to get help if you need it. If you do not know anyone, then do plan to meet them or at least take note of homes where there are other women, children or families living where you are likely to be protected in situations.

Not following a routine can help you to be someone that is not an easy target which means you are more likely to remain safe throughout your jog or your trip. Do this with your car, too!

When it comes to vehicles, you are very much likely to be attacked if and when you are alone. Cars are very dangerous in all forms and it is up to you to protect yourself from these situations.
