Staying Safe Outside of Your Gainesville Apartments

Living in Florida, there is plenty of adventure to be had outdoors. Through all of the Southern seasons, however, please remember safety on your outdoor treks.

Bellamay Grand apartments in Gainesville, FL are in the middle of all the fun, fresh-air activities that central Florida has to offer. Whether you’re hiking down a trail, swimming some laps in our community pool, or hitting the pavement for a morning run, it is important to consider your health and wellness. For example:

If you need to put on both sunscreen and bug spray, put on the sunscreen first, seeing that bug spray operates by scent. Make sure the sunscreen is dry before applying bug spray.
An injured ligament hurts when you put weight on it. If you feel pain in your hips, legs, ankles, or feet while walking, jogging, or other physical activities, have a seat and elevate the limp above your heart for 15 minutes. If unbearable pain persists, you may have fractured the bone and walking on it could make it worse. Contact your health care provider for advice.
Retreat into an air conditioned room if, when exercising outdoors, you get chills or cramps.
If you are running near roads or heavily trafficked areas, think about leaving the iPod at home, wearing only one ear bud, or purchase headphones that will let in street noise.
When it is extra hot out, before heading outdoors to exercise, drink slowly until you are full. Then drink 10 ounces every 20 minutes.

“The scenery and space is amazing. The apartment leasing staff and maintenance staff are wonderful. I love that its a gated community and all though it's family and student oriented it's still extremely quiet.”

“This is a quiet gated community with nice apartments located in a great area.”

“We just moved in about a month ago. We had maintenance in so many times trying to get things set up for my disabled son - but they never complained. The grounds are beautiful. The people in the office are always polite and helpful. Very happy here.”
