We are straddling a very fine line today with hot temperatures across the metro. Below is a helpful chart that can guide you to making good choices when deciding how to workout with high summer temps.. The best time of the day to workout when it's hot is before 9am and after 6pm when the sun isn't as intense. 

I know that experienced exercisers ignore these conditions, but just merely being outside today puts us all in the "Danger" category. Proceed with caution and drink plenty of water, coconut water, or sports drinks. Avoid alcohol and ALWAYS wear sunscreen. Good choices on days like today are what will allow you to restore and retain good health for many, many years.

Have you ever made the excuse that you can't exercise because it's raining? Don't let the weather keep you from working out. Plenty of online routines are available. You can crash YouTube for some free yoga, go through those stretches you've been told to do, or go old school with your workout by bringing back elementary level exercises to keep your routine fun and light.

Here's a good one for today's rainout:

Dynamic Warmup:
Knee Hugs 
Quad Stretch
Lateral Lunges
Toy Soldier
Calf Raises


The Workout:
30 seconds Jumping Jacks
10 pushups (see progression)
30 second Mountain Climbers
10 pushups
30 seconds Walking Lunges
30 second plank
30 seconds Prisoner Squats
30 second plank

Repeat 4-5 times with a little rest between sets and should result in 30 minutes of exercise. 

Don't forget to stretch!
