Summer Heat has been a scortcher these past few weeks. Remember, the key to preventing heat illness is good preparation. If exercising outside, try exercising early in the morning or late in the evening when the temperature is cooler. Wear light clothing. Use good Sunblock ! Make sure you stay well hydrated with water and electrolyte supplementation. Do not rely on being thirsty for drinking fluids!
