Beat the heat..

It has been extremely hot these past few days. With everything going on this time of year the heat can make it a bit challenging to get things done. This is the time of the year where, the kids are heading back to school, sports are back in season and families are trying to get together to close out the summer. There are so many things to do but the heat will try to slow you down.

Here are 3 helpful tips to beating this summer heat:

  1. Stay hydrated – Drink plenty of water before, during and after being under the hot sun.
  2. Wear light breathable clothing- Be wise in choosing the colors you wear, darker colors attract the suns rays.
  3. Choose your battles- If you are exercising, use this time to work on technique and form. If you insist on maintaining high levels of intensity then work out early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s a bit cooler.
