Fit Tip: Prevent Heat Exhaustion
Summer is often accompanied by high temperature, and exercising in high temperatures can be accompanied by heat exhaustion. If the temperature is above 85°F or you're not used to exercising in the heat, your body may end up overheating – even if you're working out in a hot, humid room. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include excessive sweating, clammy skin, dilated pupils, dizziness, weakness, nausea or vomiting, rapid pulse, shallow breathing, or passing out.

You're at risk if you are working out in the sun, or in a poorly ventilated hot and humid room.

You Asked: The Heat Has Shortened My Runs
Dear Fit,
I always wanted to get into running and my New Year's resolution was to be able to run 30 minutes straight, four times a week. I've kept it up until the Summer sun and heat got the best of me. Now I can barely do 15 minutes and I'm exhausted.
