Six Tips for Staying Active in the Summer Heat!
Summer is in full swing and it’s HOT outside! The increase in temperatures can hinder your desire to spend time outside, especially when it comes to exercise. For cancer survivors, remaining active can be an important way to stay healthy, both physically and emotionally. However, when the weather gets hot, you may find it challenging to continue your exercise routine. Check out this month’s Thrive article by Dara Kurtz for 6 tips on staying active when it’s hot!
