How To Exercise with a Mask

Health experts at the Mayo Clinic have some advice for people who wear a mask while exercising: don’t go crazy.

Those masks can increase levels of humidity, heat, breath resistance and overall discomfort. Try to find a mask whose material is no more than two layers thick.
