With summer fast approaching the temperatures are already soaring into the nineties– here in Florida! It is important to stay safe when exercising in the heat. The most important aspect of exercising outdoors during the summer is proper acclimation to the heat…your body needs to be able to properly dissipate the heat and this takes time. This is done by first spending a little bit of time outside (15minutes) during the day when it is mildly hot around 85 degrees and spending an increasing amount of time daily outside until you can handle up to 30 minutes. It takes about fourteen days to fully acclimate and you can lose acclimation within a matter of a couple days so stay consistent in being outside.
You are now ready to exercise for longer periods outside. It is not recommend to exercise for a prolonged period of time in temperatures above 90 degrees. Remember as you age your body becomes less able to handle heat. What is heat exhaustion in a 17 year old is heat stroke in a 80 year old. Some of this is because our thirst sensation lessens as we age…so do not rely on thirst as your sole indicator to take a drink. You should be drinking every fifteen minutes.
Do not mistakenly think that because you are fit your body can handle prolonged periods of intense exercise in temperature in the nineties….athletes suffer heat stroke too. You must acclimate yourself. It always best to check with your doctor before exercising in the heat; especially if: you are over the age of thirty five, are just starting an exercise routine or have health issues.
Here are some tips for exercising safely in the heat this Summer.

Scientists are reporting new evidence that drinking coffee may help prevent diabetes and that caffeine may be the ingredient largely responsible for this effect. Their findings, among the first animal studies to demonstrate this apparent link, appear in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Fumihiko Horio and colleagues note that past studies have suggested that regular coffee drinking may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. The disease affects millions in the United States and is on the rise worldwide. However, little of that evidence comes from studies on lab animals used to do research that cannot be done in humans.
The scientists fed either water or coffee to a group of laboratory mice commonly used to study diabetes. Coffee consumption prevented the development of high-blood sugar and also improved insulin sensitivity in the mice, thereby reducing the risk of diabetes. Coffee also caused a cascade of other beneficial changes in the fatty liver and inflammatory adipocytokines related to a reduced diabetes risk. Additional lab studies showed that caffeine may be “one of the most effective anti-diabetic compounds in coffee,” the scientists say.

Fully 9 out of 10 Fitness Professionals are making a critical mistake in the area that is now, and will continue to be, the single most important factor of business success – marketing.
The critical mistake is attempting to promote your services and products without first determining the answers to these questions:

A study by academics at Northumbria University has shown for the first time that trekking-poles help hikers maintain muscle function while significantly reducing soreness in the days following a hike.
In the study, 37 physically active men and women were split into two groups of equal fitness and asked to hike up and down Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales.
One group was issued with and trained in the use of trekking poles while the other group made the climb unaided. Each group ate the same evening meal on the night before; they ate the same breakfast, carried similar weight in day packs and took the same scheduled rests during both the ascent and descent.
The participants’ heart rates and their personal perceived exertion ratings were recorded during the hike. Then, at the end of the hike, and at 24-, 48- and 72-hour intervals afterwards, muscle damage and function were assessed through a variety of tests.

Come summer, everyone wants to cook out. But with steaks and burgers banned from many barbecues because of their high fat content, is there anything left that’s really worth grilling?
Absolutely, says Chris Schlesinger, a Boston-based chef who is noted for his grilling recipes. Poultry, seafood, vegetables and even fruit make great alternatives.
Here are Schlesinger’s six rules for healthful grilling. Together, they make for a great cookout.
Avoid Charcoal Briquettes
Briquettes contain petroleum-based compounds that can wind up in your food. Lump hardwood charcoal – sold in supermarkets and hardware stores – makes a better choice.
These irregular lumps of pure charcoal are easier to light then briquettes… and they’re free of petroleum products.
Gas grills are easy to use, but food cooked over gas just doesn’t taste as good as food cooked over hardwood charcoal.
