Hubby and I have been walking somewhere around 6:45 or 7:00am every day for an hour. We wake up around 6am, so we'll be getting out there earlier on days when it's hot and humid early in the morning.

I make sure I up my water intake. I carry a wet cold washcloth with me if i am walking outside. I always wear a hat when walking outdoors. Where i walk at lunch the halfway point has a grocery store that is my relief stop for the AC!

I watch the air quality index. If it's bad i don't walk.

I can't say that I really change my routine much. I haven't done a lot of walking outside lately as we've had a very rainy spring, and when it's too hot I stay inside in my air conditioned house. I do drink a lot more water.

I live in the Phoenix area. When I used to walk my dogs, I was out no later than 6:00 a.m.

I didn't have as much of a problem indoors, because of the ac. I usually worked out around 10 am. I also dressed in a tank top and shorts. And I have a big fan that blows on me constantly. Also, I made sure to drink plenty of water before, during and after.
