Mosquitos: Outdoor workout nightmare!

Having problems with mosquitos in your yard? Join the club. This summer I can't even walk outside without being attacked by these little bloodsuckers. And outdoor workouts -- my favorite of all workout types -- are tough, if not impossible. If you even stop for a second they swarm all over you!

But all is not lost. There are several things you can do to battle mosquitos... at least the ones in your yard. Here are some tips:

1. Buy a mosquito trap - Some say they work very well. Some say they are useless. But, from my experience, they do seem to reduce the mosquito population in my yard.

2. Use repellent - Forget dangerous chemicals. Use a natural lemon grass repellent instead.

3. Avoid late afternoon workouts - Mosquitos are at their worst mid to late afternoon. If possible, try to get your workouts in earlier in the day or later in the evening.

Good luck!!
