☀️ Stay Active, Stay Cool ☀️
Whether you're walking the dog, jumping rope with the kids, biking, swimming, or playing backyard soccer, it all counts. 🙌 BUT… summer workouts come with their own challenges. When the heat (and humidity) rise, your body works extra hard to cool itself, and that can get risky fast.
Here’s how to stay active and safe when it’s hot out:
🕒 Time it right: Avoid peak heat (noon to 3PM). Early mornings or evenings are your best bet.
💧 Hydrate like it’s your job: Water before, during, and after activity, even if you're not thirsty. Electrolytes help too (yep, we’ve got those in-store!).
👕 Dress smart: Lightweight, loose, and light-colored clothes are key. Don't forget sun protection — hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sweat-resistant SPF.
⏸️ Listen to your body: Take breaks in the shade and know your limits. It can take up to two weeks to adjust to the heat.
🩺 Check with your doctor before changing up your activity, especially if you have chronic conditions or take medications that affect heat tolerance.
🤝 Bring a buddy: It’s safer (and way more fun).
🍓 Cool snack inspo: Frozen fruit, smoothies, crunchy veggies, chilled salads, and flavored sparkling water all hit different post-workout.
If you need help with sunscreen, hydration support, or heat-safe wellness products, stop by the pharmacy — we’ve got your back while you get moving. 💪
