plenty of fluids.
Those who exercise should drink at least 16 ounces of water before they start, another eight ounces every 15 minutes while exercising, and eight to 16 ounces more during the cool-down period. Water also serves another purpose in summer exercise; while you're working out, pour it on your head to cool your body.
And be sure to incorporate the more traditional cool-down into a hot weather exercise program. It will give overworked systems time to gradually return to normal and prevent blood from pooling in the legs and thus temporarily starving the brain for oxygen. To cool down, just continue your exercise at a slower rate until heartbeat returns to normal.
Never, ever wear a rubber or plastic outfit to exercise in hot weather. “They’re absolutely rediculous — and very dangerous,” noted Dr. Martin, who eschews even regular sweatsuits during his 6:30 a.m. summer runs. “The plastic suits are supposed to help you lose weight. The only thing you lose is fluids.”
And men, keep that sweaty teeshirt on. A wet shirt makes it easier for sweat to evaporate and cool the body.
By using common sense, most people can continue an exercise program even as the thermometer climbs to the high 90s. But others, particularly the elderly, should try to be in an air-conditioned environment a least a few hours a day, if not in their homes, then in a public place such as a shopping mall, library, or movie theater, according to the Health Department. At the very least, older people should use fans to keep air circulating since poor venilation and high humidity can bring on heat stroke.
Dr. Martin also noted that those on blood pressure medication or tranquilizers may be particularly susceptible to heat-related illness. “If you’re on any medication you should call your doctor to see if it can cause a problem,” he advised.
