A beautiful sunny day is the ultimate motivation to go outside and play, but the summer heat and exercise can be a risky combination.Here are 12 tips for enjoying a safe, summer exercise program.   1. Ease Up Know when to ease up, especially if you’re traveling to hot and humid climates you’re unaccustomed to. Chances are, you won’t be able to exercise at the intensity you normally do, and that’s okay. I recently talked with a patient who learned the hard way. Though she normally sails through a three-mile run at home in Oregon, she barely made it through a half-mile stroll in the sticky 95-degree heat of New Orleans last week.

Rise early to catch the cool of […]
