How to Beat the Summer Heat: Everything You Need to Know about Outdoor Exercise and Hydration - Episode 87
As the temperatures are starting to rise, I know a lot of people have questions about how to safely exercise in the summer - what’s the best time to do it outside to stay cool, and what you need to know in order to stay properly hydrated in the heat? Well, we have the answers! I’m joined again by exercise expert Amy Stephens (who you previously heard on Episode 54, Things You Should Know About Intermittent Fasting), a registered dietitian, certified specialist in sports nutrition, blogger, runner, and food coach. Amy has over 20 years experience working with athletes from amateur to Olympic-level - so, she really knows her stuff when it comes to all things exercise and nutrition. We talk about how much water you need to be drinking this summer, how your gut plays into hydration and exercise, the kinds of electrolytes you lose when you sweat, how much water weight you lose from working out, the advice from Amy’s on-call meteorologist about when in the day you should be working out to avoid peak heat, and - much to my chagrin - pickleball. All this and more! Resources: https://www.amystephensnutrition.com/ --- The Keri Report dissects health and nutrition with a no-nonsense approach.
