§ The weather is heating up and most people are looking for ways to cool off. Start by taking a trip to the pool. Try a water aerobics class, join a Master’s Swim program or simply take a few swim lessons to brush up on your skills. Swimming is an excellent way to get your cardio work out in, increase your lung capacity and stay cool during the hot summer days. It’s also low impact, so if you have any lingering injuries that prevent you from doing a hard charging work out, try 30 minutes of non-stop lap swimming. If you’re like me, you’ll be surprised at how hard that actually is. Don’t forget to load up on sunscreen. Nasty sun burns are no fun and can damage your skin.
