Heat, sodium and exercise

As the number of heat-related injuries has been increasing and global warming may increase the frequency and intensity of heat waves, one must be extremely cautious to exercise in a hot environment.  A hot and humid environment puts stress on the body’s temperature regulation and fluid homeostasis. High heat and humidity reduce the body's ability to lose heat by radiation, convention and/or evaporation.  Temperature regulation is not only influenced by the environment (heat/cold) but also by dehydration.

How much exercise is too much?

Aerobic exercise is a brisk physical activity that requires both the heart and lungs to work harder to meet the body's increased oxygen demand during physical exercise.  Aerobic exercise can include running, cycling, and swimming or any other physical activity that enhances physical wellness and overall health.  There are several benefits to aerobic exercise: increased cardiac function, weight loss, improved mental health and immune system, reduced disease rate and increased longevity.  How much physical exercise should be performed to experience such benefits?

Surfside Marathon 2011

Placed 2nd in my age group! Way 2 go!!!!

Yoga in 104 F???

Bikram Yoga emphasize heat for detoxification and deeper stretch. 104 F maybe beneficial for releasing toxins from the body since  heat frees toxins from the fat cells where they are stored, they moved to the bloodstream where they are flushed out of the body in perspiration, urine, bile and other body fluids.On the other hand, one can stretch further on a relatively warm temperature (75-80 F) as well. 
Also, hot/humid condition results in higher heart rates when compared the same exercise in a cool environment.

Recommended exercise in 20's, 30's and 60's


If you were REQUIRED to recommend ONLY one form of exercise- resistance training, cardiovascular, flexibility, mind/body (Pilates/Yoga, etc) or other (no combination, integrated training, circuit training, etc- strictly one form of exercise) to an individual to potentially enhance their quality of life then what form would you recommend for a healthy young adult cleared by a physician to begin an exercise program (late 20's - early 30's)? 
 
Resistance training, cardiovascular, and flexibility training are all great ways to improve the quality of life.
