Beat the Heat!
June 24th, 2009
Now that we are moving into the hot weather, here are some tips on how to beat the heat:
- Make sure to take plenty of rest breaks, always stay properly hydrated, and wear lightweight clothing.
- Wear sunscreen & a hat
- Plan to exercise during the early morning or late evening if possible, when the temperatures tend to be cooler.
- If someone shows warning signs of heat illness, get the victim to a shady area right away. Try to cool the victim immediately with a wet cloth, or spray from a cool shower or garden hose. Seek out medical help as soon as possible.
