Keeping Cool

Happy Tuesday! It seems we are having a slight break in the heat here in H-town thanks to a few rainy days. And they say it will be rainy here for a few more days. The much needed cool-off is feeling good, but apparently heat will move in again when the skies clear.

I'm wondering what tips you have for keeping cool when doing outdoor activities. I take Sydney for a walk everyday and she gets hot, too. Any tips or products that you've found that are keeping you cool? Do share :)

    I don't have any grand tips. I wish I did...it's been hellaciously hot here too! The only advice I will dispense (which I'm sure is a repeat)....DRINK DRINK DRINK (water).

    I just read something about handling exercise in warmer temps. Wear light color clothing, hydrate, try to do it in the morning, gradually work out in the warmth -- don't try to go full bore straight away. It's posted on the Fitville facebook page. I also read a while ago that it helps to hold something cold in your hands like a water bottle.

    The best advice i probably have for working out in the heat (especially living in TX all those years) is stay out of it! LOL! Get out there early in the morning! And if you are sweating alot you need more than just water for replacing it. Try those lower calorie Gatorades/Powerades etc....I felt so much better after adding a few of those into my routine.
