Walking in the heat
from Community News Updates from CJSR Hosted by produced by Karly Coleman
How to walk in the heat You’ll have noted it’s quite hot outside so here’s some tips for enjoying your walking during the summer. · Avoid the heat of the day by walking before 10AM or after 6PM. · Walking where there’s tree cover provides shade and makes your walk much cooler. Keep in mind that direct sunlight can make the temperature feel up to fifteen degrees hotter. · Light-coloured clothing and hats can shield you from ultraviolet rays, but remember to keep your arms and legs covered regardless of what you’re wearing. · Be sure that whatever you wear wicks away moisture. · Drink water a few hours before you walk and then during your walk. Do so by carrying a bottle with a mix of ice and water · Take regular sips - six to eight ounces of water every fifteen minutes are recommended. · Consider making a shirt, bandana or hat damp before you go walking
