So like the title says, it's 100 degrees outside and no air conditioner currently, I've been trying to drink a lot of water but I still feel light-headed when doing cardio. Should I lighten the intensity/time due to it being 100 degrees and humid? Or should I just work out like I normally would? I don't want to get myself a heat stroke or anything but I do really want to work out.

    Absolutely lighten the intensity, and keep pushing the water. Keep close tabs on yourself as you go. It'd be extra important to eat well too.

    I understand why you want to work out, but it's just not worth risking anything too intense if it's 100 degrees and you're feeling light-headed.

    The body takes time to acclimate to either higher or lower temperatures, go light until your body can handle the change.
