Warm Weather Training Tips

Train for walking in the heat by acclimating slowly, increasing the intensity and duration of your exercise over seven to ten days
Include training walks during the hotter parts of the day
Vary your walking terrain to include sidewalks, trails, asphalt and hills.
Map out your training routes so that they include places to use the bathroom and fill water bottles
Carry at least one water bottle with you at all times and have places where you can refill it
Pay attention to local weather forecasts
Know your physical limitations and pay attention to your body
If you begin to feel headache, dizziness, cramps, clammy skin and extreme weakness from the heat, stop immediately and let your body recover. Seek immediate medical attention if your symptoms do not improve.
