• Rehydrate your body: Drink water before, during and after exercising. Since your body can only absorb 8 ounces of cold water every 20 minutes, continue to drink fluids even after you no longer feel thirsty.
• Avoid working out during peak hours: Very hot and humid weather hampers perspiration's ability to cool your body. Try exercising in the morning or evening to avoid the most intense heat.
• Try walking: Walking is considered the most popular exercise among Americans.
• Be open to new ideas: Try a new exercise or activity every two weeks, such as hiking, canoeing, rollerblading or biking.
• Cool off in the water: Swimming is an excellent way to exercise during the summer months.
• Don't forget your sunscreen: Apply SPF 15 sunscreen at least 30 minutes before exercising outdoors.
• Watch out for the symptoms of heat stroke: When the body can't rid itself of excess heat, there can be a sudden rise in body temperature. Look for very hot and dry skin, dizziness, nausea, confusion and unconsciousness.
• Choose the appropriate clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothing to allow circulation of air between your skin and the environment. Also, light-colored clothing will reflect sunlight, while darker clothing will absorb the heat.
