Cool Tips for Your Summer Workout

Source:    2008-05-15   English BBS   Favorite  
Summer's heat and humidity shouldn't keep you from exercising -- you just need to take precautions. To stay safe and prevent dehydration and heat-related illnesses, follow these guidelines:
  • Exercise in the morning or evening, when temperatures are lower.

  • Wear as little clothing as you can, but make sure it's not too tight and doesn't chafe.

  • Deflect sun with white or light colors and a hat.

  • Use water-resistant sunscreen (re-apply it hourly).

  • Work out in shaded areas as much as possible.

  • Before, during, and after exercise, avoid alcoholic or caffeinated beverages. They're diuretics, so they'll take fluid out of your body when you need it most.

  • If you're exercising less than two hours, drink water before and during the activity (6 to 8 fl oz every 15 minutes).

  • If you're exercising for more than two hours, drink 12 to 20 fl oz water 15 to 30 minutes before exercising.

  • After exercise, make sure you drink enough water to completely quench your thirst.
