Good Morning,

Summer is the perfect time to go outside and have fun. There are so many outdoor activities to choose from. Everything is more fun outside, whether you're swimming, running or bike riding. But the summer heat can be a problem if you're not careful, particularly in areas with extreme heat and humidity.

One of the biggest problems is staying hydrated and maintaining your body's electrolytes and salt. When you sweat, your body loses not only water, but electrolytes and salt, too. This delicate balance of water and electrolytes is crucial to keep your body functioning properly.

If you don't drink enough water, you can get dehydrated and suffer from light-headedness and nausea. If not recognized, dehydration can even result in kidney failure and or, in extreme cases, death. However, if you drink too much water without replenishing your electrolytes, you can experience hyponatremia. This can lead to confusion, nausea, muscle cramps, seizures or even death in extreme cases.

Now, I just got back from a week long vacation in Orlando, Florida - where humidity is king! It was so uncomfortably humid there that I thought that at the end of every day I looked like a melted candle. You'd sweat in the sun, shade, walking, standing still - there was no end to the horrendous humidity and sweating non-stop. Well, that's not true. I planned ahead and brought along the ALL NEW Neck Chilly!

My family and I used the Neck Chilly every day we were there to help stay cool, lower perspiration rate, and reduce dehydration. Believe me, it was a lifesaver!

The Neck Chilly kept us cool, and kept us from losing our cool, while we wandered around Disney theme park and Disney theme park. And it was so easy to use! You just soak it in water, wring out and shake...then enjoy the relaxing coolness for hours. And it's reusable so you can simply re-soak and you're good to go. And thanks to the new sleek design allows you to wear it around your neck or as a bandana around the head and you can still put your hat or helmet over it!

It's the best! It pretty much saved our vacation. And now it'll be the must-have summer accessory for you and your family! Don't sweat out the summer, get you and yours the ALL NEW Neck Chilly. It's the best way to stay cool all summer long! Click Here to check out our demo video and order your Neck Chilly today!

Now, if put on your Neck Chilly and check out these tips for exercising in the summer heat.

*-- 8 Tips for Exercising in Summer Heat --*

You may not be racing in the desert, but there are some things to keep in mind when it comes to exercising in the heat:

- The time of day is important. Unless you are training for an event that takes place in the daytime heat, avoid exercising from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It's the hottest part of day. Generally, the early morning is the best time to workout, especially if it's going to be scorcher that day.

- Wear loose, light-colored. The lighter color will help reflect heat, and cotton material will help the evaporation of sweat. You may also want to try specially designed, "hi-tech" running shirts and shorts. They are often made from material meant to keep you cool.

- Sunscreen is a must. I use SPF 45 just to be safe. It's important to protect your skin. You can get burned and suffer sun damage to your skin even on cloudy days.

- Stay hydrated. Before you go out, drink a glass or two of water. Carry a bottle of water or even a hydration pack. Take a drink every 15 minutes, even when you're not thirsty. When you're done with your workout, have a few more glasses of water.

- Replenish your electrolyte and salt intake while exercising.

- If you can, choose shaded trails or pathways that keep you out of the sun.

- Check the weather forecast before you start your workout. If there's a heat advisory, meaning high ozone and air pollution, you might want to take your workout indoors. These pollutants can damage your lungs.

- Most importantly, listen to your body. Stop immediately if you're feeling dizzy, faint or nauseous.
