Hot tips!

HI All,
Well TODAY is summer! (Tomorrow, back to Spring)
Let's talk about some *hot* tips for working out and staying cool and comfy all summer long!
1. Come to class. We are fully air conditioned and we will offer our 30 classes a week all summer. There's really no excuse for not working out ALL YEAR LONG! *And, if you miss class, you'll miss out on earning the FAB summer tote bag (see the bulletin board for a pic)
2. The sun does not suck fat off your body. We all feel vibrant after a day outside in the sunny weather but, remember, you must get your heart rate up into your target range at least 20 minutes per day and, for that, you need a class here. Think about adjusting your schedule and coming to our FAB 6am classes Tu,Th or Friday. Or, if you can, try out our 8am classes M,Tu or Th...these classes will help you get your workouts in EARLY in the day and you'll have the rest of the day to lay on the beach, by the pool or at the ice cream stand.
Or, how about 7:30pm Tu or Th? Have a full day of sun and sand and then come to class!
3. Drink plenty of water. You need to drink throughout the day, every day. Iced coffees and lattes do not count has hydrating your body. Though we have the A/C, you still need to be fully hydrating when attending class. Plus, hydration will keep you from getting fatigued all day long.
4. Wear sunscreen. This should be a no brainer. Sunroofs are open, we're cooking outside, gardening...so don't forget to slather on the sunscreen and do it every couple of hours too! (Not just once a day)
5. Get errands done early in the day. Today is a perfect example of the need to get errands (or your workout) done early in the day. It was literally 86 degrees by 9am today, so I was up and out early. This helps save gas in your car and your energy too.
6. Go enjoy some ice cream or frozen yoghurt . Take a moment, grab the family and go off and get your favorite frozen treat! (and, don't forget the pets...check your local grocer's freezer for 'ice cream' treats they can have too)
Enjoy the weather!
