Summer is in full swing and the heat is coming! We are forecast for 90’s for the weekend. Please take the appropriate precautions when coming in to workout. Hydrate before your workout begins and bring a full water bottle. Then use it! And if you start to feel dizzy or light headed, be SMART! Stop what you’re doing and take a knee, head to the sidelines, grab some water. It doesn’t pay to be tough and end up with heat stroke! Pay attention to what your body is telling you!
