It’s hot. Damn Hot. Real Hot. 4th of July weekend was THE HOTTEST weekend recorded. Ever. What can we do to beat the heat? We have AC, Central Air, wicking clothing and we’re still dropping like flies. Western Europe saw some 20,000 deaths in a recent unrelenting heat wave. It could happen here. And the heat will wreak havoc on your workouts too.

Neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki “found that subjects who’d ridden bikes for an hour had markedly better scores on tests of their prefrontal cortex function than those who’d spent the hour watching an episode of 24 instead.” (That just seems like a needless dig at 24 (decent show). Imagine they force fed ‘The Kardashians’ instead…).
