biking and walking/summer heat

[Guest guest]

,

I bike too. Love it, always have - especially in the

Fall for some reason. But I do it year round. Winter

time I go mid-morning after the sun has warmed things

up a bit. Seems to be envigorating.

And , for both walking and biking, I go first

thing in the morning. My muscles are rested and so

I don't get fatigued. For both walking and biking, in

the summer early in the morning is best with this

dry heat we have here. Love sunrise. In the winter,

for both I do wear gloves and ear muffs because the

cool wind can sort of 'sting'. I also alternate days for the

bike or walk - and do it 4 or 5 days a week, no more

than that. And if for some reason I feel tired or

get a cramp, I don't push and rest, then head home.

The heat doesn't bother me, since it is dry, but I do have to plan

for certain times outside, otherwise I'd dehydrate

and burn, so the late summer evenings are garden

time. I lived in the desert for so long guess I have

adapted. I have learned to drink lots of water all

through the day, summer/winter/whatever.

, some people here go 'mall walking' indoors...

winter and summer. Just walking a nearby mall, pretty

simple - maybe that would work for you?
