Howard Perch: Exercising in the Heat

Howard Perch is an experienced hospital administrator whose interests include exercising and running. A few times in his life, he's had experiences with kidney stones, which have required a visit to a physician. While dehydration plays a role in their formation, it’s an important topic to discuss for individuals who like to exercise in the heat.

Working out in hot weather increased the body's temperature, and while there's an inbuilt cooling system that helps the body adjust, it can fail if you expose the body to high temperatures for extended periods. To keep cool, make sure that you are drinking lots of water to keep the body hydrated. You can lose between 2% and 3% of water in the body in a typical exercise, and this can go slightly higher because of the heat.

If you're used to exercising in cooler temperatures and have just started doing it in hot weather, take it easy when you start. If you usually run at full-speed, switch to jogging or walking. If your movements are quick, slow it down. As your body adapts to the heat, you'll gradually adjust and increase the pace.

One thing to consider that can minimize the risk of a heat stroke is to avoid the hottest part of the day. You can wake up early and exercise in the cooler part of the morning, or head out when it's close to sunset. If you're going to work out at midday, do it under a shade.

Howard Perch: Exercise, But Do It Safely

Howard Perch knows well the importance of safety when it comes to exercise; having not only worked for a number of years in the field of exercise physiology, but having acquired more than 20 years of experience as a mainstay and leader in the field of healthcare. 

An accomplished hospital administrator and exercise physiologist, Howard Perch understands how easy it can be to suffer injury as a result of what is often considered by many to be a fundamental physical activity, particularly for those who engage in the activity under prepared. 

While exercise can have enormous health benefits in terms of building muscular strength, improving endurance and working out one’s cardiovascular system, it can also increase the risk of physical injury to those who fail to adhere to safe exercise practices. These include:

·         Challenging yourself slowly. It’s not enough to understand your body’s limitations, but to avoid pushing yourself too far beyond your own limits over the course of your exercise routine. Doing too much too fast can lead to avoidable injury in a hurry. 

·         Taking time to stretch/warm-up beforehand. Loosening up muscle groups, “limbering up” and preparing your body for the challenges of a grueling workout is key to avoiding cramps, tears, strains and other injuries that commonly result from strenuous activity.
