 Fitness activities, Hot weather and Dehydration

It is probably worth cutting back on the intensity of the routine and possibly even the distance. Think of it as maintenance time rather than improvement time. The cooler times of the day, mornings or late evenings are the best times to do your routines. Definitely stay out of the extreme heat of the middle of the day and late afternoon.

Your choice of clothing should be light-weight, tight-knit but loose fitting variety. Choose light colors and material that wick sweat away from your body. This has the double duty of making you feel more comfortable and also providing you with some cooling effect as the moisture evaporates
from the cloth. Wear a hat and consider misting it down as well.

Make sure you have plenty of water with you; enough for you to drink and to also splash on your self if need be for extra cooling effect. yet if you can handle the extra load take a spray bottle along to mist yourself with periodically. Make sure to drink enough as you are exercising and continue on after you complete the work out.

Dehydration can be a deadly foe of working out in this kind of weather. You need to be considering more than just the time of your work-out especially if you are a more vintage Dehydration can gradually develop over a period of days and develop into heat exhaustion in the middle of your workout. Things to keep in mind:

Drink plenty of fluids of the water and sports drink variety.
Avoid drinking alcoholic drinks, tea, coffee and sodas as these tend to aid in dehydration.
Drugs that you may be taking may have a dehydrating effect; acting as a diuretic and depleting your body of water and electrolytes. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to be sure.

As I mentioned earlier dehydration can develop over a period of days. Some symptoms to be aware of are:

Thirst

Less frequent urination

Darker that normal urination

Dizziness and confusion

Dry mouth and mucous membranes

Increased heart rate and or breathing

Some of these symptoms are ongoing daily observations; if you notice some of them in yourself or partner as you are going through your workout stop and get into a shady area. Drink water; mist the body with water to help cool down.
