Move inside

What can happen if you get too dehydrated or exert yourself in the heat too long? Here are some possibilities, from the least to the most severe:

Heat cramps ― muscle pain or spasms

Heat exhaustion ― a state of elevated body temperature that's a precursor to heatstroke

Heatstroke ― a life-threatening condition in which your body temperature rises above 106˚ F

If you experience muscle cramping, dizziness, fast and shallow breathing, cold and clammy skin, or nausea or vomiting, get out of the heat immediately and get some water. Heat-related illnesses are no joke, so don't take any chances! JM

This heat is no joke but, your workout doesn't have to suffer. You can still burn those calories inside and I'm going to tell you how. Start with some high intensity cardio and add body weight exercises with it.

Todays workout

50 jumping jacks
1 min jumprope (fake jumprope if you don't have one)
1 min mountain climber

Repeat 3 times with 30 sec rest between each exercise

16 walking lunges
8 squats
8 inside squats (feet together)

Repeat 3 times with no rest between the exercise. Rest 2 min after each set is complete

12 push ups
20 tricep dip
30 plank

Repeat 3 times only resting when you have completed the whole set

Drink TONS of water !! Aim for 64 oz a day and you will be hydrated.

When in doubt sweat it out
