Summer exercise: Beat the heat
takes 45 to 90 minutes of outdoor
exercise each day for seven to 10
days to get your body adjusted to the
heat.
During this first week, reduce the,
duration and intensity of your work­
outs. Avoid exercising between noon
and 5 p.m. when temperatures are at
their highest, and focus on the late
afternoon hours. By 6:30 or 7:30 in
the evening, there will be a notice­
able change in the temperature, and
the humidity will be lower.
Water is extrem ely im portant.
About 20 minutes before exercising,
drink 12 to 16 ounces of cool water.
During exercise, drink four to six
ounces every 15 to 20 minutes and
have at least six to eight ounces alter
you are finished. It may sound like
too much fluid, but this will ensure
that you are adequately hydrated. You

The good old summertime means
more sunlight, more time spent out­
doors and more exposure to swel­
tering conditions. For those who
exercise outdoors, summer provides
a challenge.
Summer’s combination of heat and
humidity can be tough on your body.
Sports physiologists at Baylor Col­
lege of Medicine in Houston rec­
ommend giving your body time to
adjust to the higher temperatures.
Depending on your fitness level, it
will not be overloaded with water.
Baylor experts caution people not
to rely on thirst as an indicator of the
need for water. Studies have shown
that by the time you are thirsty, the
body 's water reserves have already
decreased significantly.
Watch for symptoms of heat ex­
haustion which include fatigue, head­
ache. mental contusion, dizziness and
nausea. This is more common in
those not used to outdoor work and
play. Left untreated, however, it can
lead to heat stroke, a life-threaten­
ing condition.
When you exercise, dress in light-
colored clothing, wear sunscreen,
and keep that water bottle handy.
These simple precautions will allow
you to keep your exercise program
on track this summer.
