What Do You Wear While Running in Traffic?
Here's a great question kerry520 asked on RunningSugar.

Matthew Knows the Power of the Vest
Matthew McConaughey is at it again running about town, but this time he is not bare chested and he is actually bearing extra weight.
Wearing a weighted vest like Matthew while running or walking is another way to increase your workload and by doing so you will burn more calories.

Fit Tip: Be Seen on Dark Morning Runs and Rides

Get Your Butt in Gear: Nike Hooded Vest
This is the time of the year where I face a major dilemma during my outdoor exercise excursions, I am either too hot or too cold. The weather is not quite so cold that I need a hat and gloves, but it's chilly enough that I need a jacket. Once I get hot I have to tie it around my waist, guaranteed to have it fall at some point during my run.
Fergie Ferg's FuelBelt: The Terminator
Lately we've been seeing Fergie taking her runs and workouts outdoors, which is cool. I like to see a celebrity exercising outdoors. I am chuckling about her giant headphones, but what's with that crazy belt?
