Beat The Heat Exercise Tip

This Sparked Me!

Walk, jog, or run outside in hot weather? Even with early morning start, the heat and humidity is pretty high in the south. Take a cold, wet rag placing it between your shirt and shoulder and then use it to wipe your face or place on trigger points: wrist, temples or neck. Refreshing pick me up!

    Great idea! I make neck coolers that you soak in cool water and then place around your neck, wear like a sweatband, etc. They have crystals inside that absorb water causing it to swell up and stay wet/cool.

    This is a great tip! Maybe I should tie a wet scarf around my walking buddie's neck too!
