I hope
this newsletter finds you well and enjoying your summer. In most parts
of the country, it's hot and humid, which can lead to many of us staying indoors and being inactive. Don't let the summer heat put a damper on getting outside and being active - use caution and common sense to prevent heat-related illnesses.
Keep these
basic precautions in mind when exercising outside:
- Take it slow and easy. As your body adapts to the heat, you can gradually increase the
length
and intensity of your workout. (If you have a chronic medical condition
or take
medication, ask your doctor if you need to take additional precautions.)
- Dress appropriately. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing.
- Avoid the midday sun. Exercise in the morning or evening when it's likely
to be
cooler outdoors.
- If you're concerned about the heat or humidity, stay
indoors. Go to a gym, walk laps inside the mall or climb stairs
inside
an air-conditioned building.
Regular physical
activity is important; however, you don't need to let
hot-weather workouts put your health at risk!
As always, many thanks for your continued support.
Kind regards,
Lisbeth Rhine Executive Director 404-816-3346 [email protected]
