Fitness Tip of the Day

By -
Anyone else look at the weather channel to decide what to wear when running outside? The weatherchannel.com has a fitness comfort index for your running pleasure.

Do you plan your workouts around the weather?
While everyone has their own definition of optimum workout weather, a few parameters -- temperature, precipitation and humidity -- can be used to determine how comfortable it is for exercising outdoors. The Fitness Comfort Index is based on these parameters and was created to help you identify the best time to exercise.

The scale for the Fitness Comfort Index is as follows:
10-8: Most Comfortable
7-4: Moderately Comfortable
3-1: Uncomfortable

Post-Run Tip of the Day

After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.
