Stay Safe Exercising in Extreme Heat

Hot weather makes it hard to cool down. Be careful when you exercise outside on hot days. Your body needs to stay at a safe temperature all the time.

Your brain helps keep your body cool by making you sweat. Sweat cools you when it dries on your skin. Sweat can stop working if you get too hot or it is too humid.

Heat can cause problems like heat cramps and heat exhaustion. It can also cause a heat stroke, which is very serious. Heat affects your whole body, like your heart and lungs.

High humidity makes it feel hotter because sweat does not work well. The heat index shows how hot it feels with humidity. NOAA says to be careful when the heat index is high.

Exercise in the coolest part of the day to stay safe. Drink water, take breaks, and stay in the shade. Stop if you feel dizzy or have muscle problems, and get help.
