There’s “hot”, and there’s “dangerous hot”.

Sure – you understand how to deal with “hot” weather with your outdoor activity. How do you know, though, when it’s TOO hot? What does humidity do to things? How do you read the signs, and how do you stay safe?

We do this dance every summer.

Just about every fitness blog out there writes a “summer fitness tips” blog post of some sort. Honestly, it’s all always the same stuff. It’s not even hard… it’s stuff we all know. It’s obvious. Things like “wear sunscreen”, “hydrate”, “dress/gear up appropriately” – like I said… it’s obvious. But we fitness bloggers always write it – because you’ll read it. And you always read it – because, I don’t know, maybe you’re thinking one of us bloggers is finally going to impart some kind of magical new advice to you. I have some bad news for you – that’s not going to happen. There’s good news, though.

Today’s news is more important.

We deal with hot weather every year. It’s called summer. It’s nothing new, and neither are the tips for how to stay safe and deal with it. There IS something that we don’t always deal with, though. This thing requires slightly different tactics to deal with, and is significantly more dangerous than your run of the mill summer heat. 

Heat waves and humidity are no joke.

If you’re not expecting it (and sometimes even if you are) regular “summer heat” can quickly turn into something much more dangerous. Heat in the mid 90’s and above is bad enough, but when you combine it with high humidity and stagnant, no-breeze-in-sight air… you’ve got a recipe for disaster. When conditions are tough enough, and you’re not expecting it, you can end up dizzy, nauseous, and suffering from heat exhaustion – or even heat stroke.

Simple precaution and awareness can save you.

I’ve got some simple tips to share that could save you in a pinch. It can be easy for a great day of outdoor fitness to turn south real fast, but with a little awareness and guidance you can stay safe, happy, and fit. How? Well, you’ll just have to listen to episode 95 to find out 😉
