It hardly ever gets really hot where I live...
But my tip for cooling off.
Fluffy kitchen sized towel, soaking wet. Twisted long wise, into a rope, then shaped to a circle.
Then frozen in freezer.
Wrapped tight around neck.
Keep three in freezer. And exchange as needed.
@corlin Great tip! I used to do similar things when I rode my bike to work in 104°F temps (7 miles). I'd get my shirt wet and freeze it for a few minutes while I got ready to go, then put it on as I was walking out the door. Combined with almost solid ice in my water bottle (an inch of space at the top for just a little water because I'll want a sip before too much has melted) and pouring ice water over my hair, I stopped getting dizzy on trips.
I miss the lifetime you could bounce a quarter off my ass. It wasn’t this one.
@LnzyHou @corlin My roomate used to complain at how quickly I had managed to lose a bunch of weight after I 'd moved in, and we were eating the same diet. I kept telling her to give me her car, I'd give her my bike, problem solved. I had to be duly motivated to work that hard though, that was 14 miles every work day.
Exercise is critically important.
Not getting my walk today, means my back hurts.
One day off.
