Bulletin, Progressive, Record, Reporter Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2011 51B cool exercise ideas to beat the heat i C-FORCE HEALTH AND FITNESS CHUCK NORRIS i nfo@creators.com Q: Dear Chuck, it's been so hot lately that I can't even think about exercising. Even early in the morning or late at night, it's too hot. How can I keep fit if I can't physically go outside? --Tim R. Louisville, Ky. A: In July, all 50 states hit record high temperatures, and there seems to be little cooling and precipitation on the horizon. According to the National Climatic Data Center, 2,712 high tempera- ture records were either tied or broken in July, com- .pared with 1,444 last year. The heat wave has affected nearly200 million people in the United States. Amina Khan of the Los Angeles Times recently wrote: "Heat waves don't just mean a few days of discomfort; a pa- per published in February of this year in Environmental Health Perspectives showed that mortality rates increase 2.49 percent for every 1 degree Fahrenheit increase in heat wave intensity. On the bright side, heat waves that occur further into the summer ap- pear to be less lethal death rates increased 2.65 percent in later summer, compared with 5.04 percent for the first heat wave of the summer. That, however, may just mean that the first onslaught victimizes the most at-risk folk." The first key to keeping physically fit when it's hot is common sense: Exercise in- side. Better to suffer a little summer cabin fever than to impair your health and life by heatstroke. Whether you join a gym or engage in sim- ple resistance exercises at home, when temperatures hit three digits, it's time to take health and fitness indoors. From treadmills to the Total Gym, exercise equipment can help you target just about every muscle group. DVD motivational workout pro- grams can provide excellent forms of cardio. Yoga and Pilates are also exceptional disciplines for the mind and body. Of course, we know that outdoor exercise benefits mental well-being, with expo- sure to sunshine, fresh air and all the rest of the frolic associated with being out- side. Dr. Jo Thompson-Coon, research fellow for the Penin- sula Collaboration for Lead- ership in Applied Health Re- search and Care, concluded: "The hypothesis that there are added beneficial effects to be gained from exercising in the natural environment is very appealing and has generated considerable interest. By using the data currently available to us we have added strength to the link between mental and 'Tda.p' boosters required for back-to-school kids "Whooping cough remains an ongoing threat to Califor- nians with a high number of cases already reported this year," said California Depart- ment of Public Health Direc- tor Dr. Ron Chapman. All public and private school students entering seventh through 12th grades must have proof of a whoop- ing cough Tdap booster shot when starting classes this school year. More than 1 million Cali- fornia students may not yet have received the booster vaccine, leaving them vulner- able to this potentially deadly disease. MOre than 9,000 cases of whooping cough were re- ported to CDPH in 2010, in- cluding 10 infant deaths. The number of cases was the most since 1947. So far this year, more than 1,900 cases of per- tussis have been reported. The majority of cases in 2010 and other years occurred between May and November. !'Having the first series of shots before kindergarten is not enough to stay protected throughout the school years," explained Chapman. "All middle and high school students need to get a booster shot now to protect themselves and their families during the traditional peak seasons of summer and fall. While the booster vaccine helps guard individuals, it will also decrease the spread of what has proven to be a deadly disease." Parents should make an ap- pointment as soon as possible to get the booster. Read all about it on our Websitel For those who don't have a health care provider, other options are available. Physi- cians participating in Califor- nia's Vaccines for Children (VFC) program provide low- cost Tdap shots to eligible patients, Many local health departments and pharmacies provide Tdap boosters.

As a general rule, if you're going to exercise or beactive outside in temperatures higher than 90 degrees, I en- • courage water exercises or activities. The superb aspect about summer is that water can help you combine both fitness and fun for the whole family. Most activity in water also provides a low-impact workout that combines cardio- vascular exercises with resis- tance training. Here are 10 cool outdoor summer activities that are in- expensive and also can build up your health, fitness and marriage and family life, too. (Of course, remember to regularly hydrate and use sunscreen, and don't over- expose yourself to the sun and heat.) --Water aerobics are of- fered through many aquatic centers. They are an excellent type of resistance training. Swimming in private or public pools, lakes or rivers. Water games. From Marco Polo to Frisbee to tag, games in the water provide a family with plenty of exercise and fun. --River tubing or rafting. You don't need to buy tickets for a big river excursion, just some inner tubes from your local tire shop. For fun and exercise, try to paddle with your arms or race upstream; now there's some great upper-body training. Canoeing, kayaking or paddle boats. If you live near any body of water, for roughly $10 you can rent these pieces of upper- and lower-body "water exercise equipment." --Waterskiing and wake- boarding. Ifa friend has a boat, skiing and wakeboarding are fun and crazy-good aerobic water sports. Skimboarding or surfing. Rented equipment for ocean activities can provide inex- pensive entertainment and exercise as well. Sprinkler-fests. Want your kids or grandkids to exercise more without ever leaving home? Set your lawn sprinklers to go off in the afternoon, and let them run through them. Want to pro- vide an additional priceless summer memory? Run through the sprinklers with them -- with your clothes on! --Water parks. When is the last time you were at a water park? An hour or two of fun there will provide as much cardio as a vigorous run, and you'll score some major summer points with your kids or grandkids. Snorkeling. Now there's a way to have fun, keep cool and see the underwater world. There's no total gym like God's global gym. It's no coincidence that water is invigorating to humans. We not only were in it in the womb but also are largely composed of it. We can live for only a few days with- out it. Throughout the course of human history, water has been used for sacred, medicinal and therapeutic purposes. Why not also exercise and entertainment? So get out there, get wet and have fun all in the name of health and fitness! Write to Chuck Norris (info@creators.com) with your questions about health and fitness.
