As the temperature and humidity rise, outdoor exercise can potentially be
hazardous. Women should shift their exercise time to periods of the day when the
sun is not at its peak, such as early morning or evening. Try loose clothing,
along with a protective hat or sunscreen. Also, pay close attention to the
body's heat-related warning signs. Watch out for increased fatigue, dizziness,
headaches and cramps, and if you notice you're starting to become thirsty,
that's usually a delayed response, so you really need to make sure you hydrate
yourself.

Admit defeat and enjoy success
Most likely, you have a perfectly legitimate reason for not taking action. You
haven't been able to get out and exercise because the weather has been so bad.
You can't get any work done on your marketing plan because the phone keeps
ringing.
So go ahead and give up. Admit defeat. The weather is not going to improve any
time soon. And the phone calls just keep coming. The obstacles that prevent you
from taking action are not going away. Admit defeat. And then find a way to take
action anyway.
Rather than fighting against something that you cannot change, look for ways to
adapt. As long as you're fighting against it, you get a great excuse. But
excuses won't help you accomplish anything. So give up the fight, give up the
excuse. Go ahead and do what needs to be done. Admit defeat, get it behind you,
and then take the actions that will bring you success.

Yoga for headache management
Headaches can be caused by eyestrain, indigestion,
allergies, sinusitis, exhaustion or poor posture. Types
of headaches vary according to the cause and so do the
remedies. Migraines and cluster headaches can be helped
with yoga, but you must have the supervision and
approval of your doctor.
Salute the sun every morning to prevent headaches.
Practice the following postures:
Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)
Push butt up toward ceiling...fiercely. Push hands and
heels of feet into floor and let head hang downward.
Pull belly button up into spine. And breathe deeply.
Avoid pinching shoulders. Push shoulders away from ears.
Cobra (Bhujangasana)
Start in a crawl position kneeling on the floor . Rest
hands on floor in vertical alignment with shoulders. Sit
butt back into heels of feet... inhale deeply. Now
exhale and push head and torso forward into cobra. Do
not push up with arms. Use chest and middle back
muscles. The cobra is a backbend ... careful not to push
in on lower back.
