Make sure it is an N95 mask (as I am not sure this article
discusses the proper kinds of masks)
Masked Man did his little typical masked run/jog today. Ive been
exercising Bicycling/running in safety mask for about six years
straight now with no problems, I haven't contracted any airborne
illnesses whatsoever for about six years since Ive masked
outdoors and in public since pandemic began around 2020.
There's a bonus here to wearing a mask besides preventing
illness. Its nasty out there in real life. In real life cars
pass by from time to time blowing fumes out their tailpipes,
There is construction going on. The crew down the street is
burning wood on a construction site.. there's all this dust off
the construction trucks... people mow grass all the time and
that triggers a lot of pollen dust in the air for many of us.
...My masks is helping me with all that too while I run a mile
or so on my road. It feels great not breathing in all that
stuff. I wear a mask but I don't wear a shirt which makes me
feel free and cool because my lack of shirt keeps my body
cool...
Also I got earbuds listening to electric guitar while I exercise
and those earbuds protect my ears from the occasional loud
construction vehicle or loud trucks that go by when one least
expects it.
I don't breathe any of that stuff in and I got a good workout
and of course I am protected from maskless people... been doing
it for years now in my mask and wouldn't dream of doing it any
differently!
That's what I love about the mask it not just protects me from
all airborne viruses it reduces fumes , allergens, dust and
everything else that takes it toll out on us out there in the
real world. Like I said been wearing a safety mask for about six
years now and quality of life and happiness is better for me
than before 2020 when I didn't wear mask publicly and outdoors.
Yet an even better reason to exercise while masking is that it
sort of trains you to be more comfortable when you mask for
other occasions. If you can mask while exercising you can
certainly enter a public area with confidence when your heart
rate is lower and masking while reading a book in a hospital
room is easy if you already stress tested your mask while
running or using mask while exerting yourself in some vigorous
manner.

Wearing a mask while exercising indoors improves lung function
Masks not only help protect wearers from virus transmission, but
improve the exercise experience in both dry and cold conditions,
study shows.

COMMENT:
A Great how to video if I don't say so myself.. refreshing to
see a real person in a mask actually utilizing mask out in the
real world elements and not just a model posing in a mask for a
picture... I like the 'street smart' aspect of this study and
think this video might appeal to younger generations, real
people, and the masses. Sort of portrays the mask as a 'cool'
thing to wear and utilize in public. It's great to see someone
who is truly experienced and sincere in wearing a mask,
exercising in it, and utilizing the mask in a good way in the
real world. ;) However there are things missing in the video
like tips and messages that keep others safe, So lets address
those concerns and...
..Let's get realistic: with all the stuff that's going on and
going around today in the era of covid not too mention whooping
cough, RSV, etc., I am so fed up with people walking and
exercising maskless in public supposedly for their health when I
have to cross paths with them. Do it with a mask! I'm on that
road and narrow sidewalk too brothers and sisters. Think I want
you sweating or breathing on me when you are exercising and
panting heavily strutting your stuff and flapping your body
parts?
If something happens in public like there is an emergency on the
road or anywhere out in public and we have to help one another
like good samaritans have your mask already on. I'm more likely
to lend a hand to a masked person who has our mutual safety in
mind.
On my bicycle I gotta race by people who walking in large
numbers like a herd of cattle or I race by sweaty maskless
joggers, jocks and college students all sweaty and who might be
clearing mucous from their throats and even spitting on the
street...
...wear a mask if you really want to be safe and not risk
airborne illness or airborne disease even if you are outside
heavily exerting yourself in front of me, the Masked Man who
rides hard! Let's not exchange body vapors or fluids while I'm
out there! Please stay out of my way maskless people or at least
put on a mask for your health! Thanks, we might run into one
another so be safe when doing physical stuff around me like
exercising in public and that includes masking in advance to
protect one another! The mask is in our species' best
interest... The mask serves all of our interests. :)

Incident/Outdoor Encounter Worthy of Mention:
In regards to the Benefit of Masking Outside While Walking
I want to make mention of an encounter I had today while me,
Masked Man and my loved one, Masked Woman had while walking that
justifies why we find it necessary to mask outdoors.
I live in the mountains the roads are narrow and in our way home
form walk sure enough three maskless people standing in the
middle of the road were taking to one another. There before us
was a tall Lady with a ghost like appearance with her arms
crossed. Then there was a heavy set fellow with a greasy looking
beard and then there was with a pale fellow with a funny look on
his face all of them standing in the middle of the road like it
was cocktail hour or something. They didn't stand down or move
out of the way at all when Masked Man and Masked woman passed
them by. Well, maybe one budged to the side a little. They said
hi.. I just nodded. I'm not big hugger or handshaker when I walk
past maskless strangers or neighbors on my road in my mask.
There's also a phenomena worth mentioning and that is the
maskless are like magnets to the maskless. You go for a walk in
some neighborhoods and its like a bunch of dogs wanting to sniff
your bottom..just like an over-friendly politician or salesman..
some neighbors are just too friendly and don't have or know
boundaries..some are even nosey and get their their nose up in
there and then people can be way to touchy feely.. They will
kill you with kindness. Most of the time the maskless are less
likely to get in your masked face and if they do they were going
to get in your face anyway so that's what the mask is for.. the
mask is better than health insurance... You know when you are
really covered. We got through the gauntlet safer because of our
masks. We were safer and felt safer because of our masks today!
The Masked Man & Masked Woman are safer masking outdoors while
we exercise and walk while the herd of three maskless people
impeding our way were less safe by far. I have no regrets
whatsoever wearing my mask outdoors while having to walk past a
herd of somewhat sickly looking unkempt maskless people. Masked
woman and I were much safer in our masks today I guarantee!
I'm a big believer in being masked in advance just for the
outdoor occasions and outdoor encounters we nearly had today,
They don't call it the wild outdoors for nothing.
You never know what you are going to run into,
The Masked Man
