The next safe tip for using masks while exercising is to rest when the body feels unwell. One of the symptoms is feeling dizzy, unbalanced, and too tired. This is because someone needs to adapt to some time when exercising with a mask.
When using a mask, the airflow will be restricted, so the body has less oxygen. This applies to anyone, including those with high fitness levels.
"For a few weeks, your body will certainly adapt to become more efficient in oxygen metabolism, but this takes time. If your body starts to feel dizzy, unbalanced, or too tired, stop. Think clearly and do what is right and not." said Scott McAfee, Physical Therapy Expert and Orthopedic Specialist.

When removing the mask, always try to follow the instructed health protocols. One of them is maintaining a distance of 1-2 meters from others.
