I've been exercising my entire life and one would think I had crossed this bridge before (and I surely have). But being one year older, there are some new lessons to learn.
Yesterday I rode (93 degrees) and backed off a little. Took a water bottle filled with Gatorade. Though my ride was slower, I felt great when I had recovered.
Still wondering if I should change my workout time to morning, I did a little research and found this article.
Thought I would share it with other exercise nuts.
That Concept 2 looks like quite a rowing platform!
I do a little roadwork and recently had a heat incident, so though I agree with the premise I would take precautions. For me I need to shop for a waterproof cellphone (my sweat shorts them out).
I’m running for 50min - 1 hr in the heat now and it’s killing me!
Did you ever hear that saying, “It’s not the heat; it’s the humidity.”?
Well, I’m in the deep South, in lower Alabama. The AVERAGE summertime humidity is around 75%, lower in the afternoon, much higher in the morning (averages around 90% then).
A hard workout in those conditions is deadly. You cannot sweat to cool down, you just get wetter and the moisture in the air does not allow your sweat to wick away.
What I’d give for 30% humidity in the Summer!!!
I dont miss a day of exercise because it is only 10 minutes. The 20 exercises were specifically included because they bring healing stretches around all joints and provide maximum sustained co-contractions for all major muscle groups.
Amazing results over the past 4 years! I am increasing my fitness level in just 10 minutes per day at home!
Most exercise guidance is seriously flawed. Understanding the concept of “Mobility” unlocks the secrets of how, what and why we should do certain things. Defining physical fitness in terms of “mobility” provides a functional and therapeutically sound pathway to strength, flexibility, endurance and balance.
It is vitally important to exercise properly in order to have bodies that will sustain us for 80+ years.Dont let you body outlive your mobility...Mobility Max!

A young woman in my neighborhood became hyperthermic while running The Boston Marathon this year.
Scary stuff !

Several years ago some comedian tried running in a sweat suit with a hoodie in 100+ weather north of Los Angeles in the Calabasas/Thousand Oaks area. He nearly died of heat stroke.
