Beat the Texas HeatSummer is here! As the temperature rises it is important that you do all you can to take care of yourself and your little one(s) by staying hydrated and cool.
- Drink extra water before, during and after your workout. Keep an extra water bottle (filled with ice and water) in your car for after class. It is very refreshing and will help keep you hydrated after your awesome workout!
- Change up your water by adding mint leaves, cucumber, or a quirt of lemon juice and a lemon. Here are some great recipes.
- Eat breakfast before class. (Extremely important!)
- Bring a spray mist bottle (you can find at Walmart or Target). Fill half way with water and freeze overnight (tilted) then fill the rest with cold water in the morning before class.
- Freeze a hand towel. Wet the hand towel and stick in the freezer. When ready to use place is a ziploc bag and cover with a thin blanket or towel. You can place behind your baby's neck and back or use for yourself to help cool down. You can even add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. : )
- A clip on fan can help keep baby cool, especially those still in the infant car seat carrier.
- Listen to your body! If you feel you're getting overheated alert your instructor and stop to take a rest. Don't be embarassed or try and push through.
Your instructors will also help by having fun water themed classes, spray mist bottles with them, and keeping class in the shade. Our inclement weather policy states that if the 'Feels Like' temp is 90 or above at the beginning of class then we will move inside. Our indoor location is Grapevine Mills Mall and we meet at entry 3 near Burlington Coat Factory at 9 am.
Check the Fit4Mom Grapevine/Coppell
website or
Facebook page daily after 8am if you question where class will be held. Let's have a great summer and enjoy all the fun it has to offer!
Your Fit4Mom Instructor Team ~ Farrah, Lori, Emily, Megan, and Marielle
