We're in the dog days of summer and the thermometer is pegged. Here are a few simple tips for staying active in the heat:
* Exercise early in the morning or later in the evening. I prefer the morning, because then no matter what else happens that day, I've already exercised. However if your schedule doesn't allow it (or maybe you're not at morning person) opt for later in the day.
* Stay hydrated. Drink more than you normally would. The more you sweat out, the more you need to drink. Take a bottle of water with you when you walk/run/bike etc.
* Don't forget your sunscreen. Yeah, it's nice to have a tan, but is it really worth the risk of skin cancer? For exercise it's beneficial to get Sport Sunscreen. It does a better job staying on you while you're sweating or working.
Good luck and Get Moving!
