How do you deal with working out in the heat?

If I go for a run I either go early in the morning or late in the evening.

Otherwise I workout in my air conditioned basement

As someone in South Texas, 80 would be nice. We're in the mid-80's to low 90's right now, and it's only going to get worse.

First, hydrate enough BEFORE your workout.
Workout early morning or in evenings, when it's cooler.
Slow your pace and/or intensity of your workout.

The body does adjust after awhile, but working out in hot weather is always harder on the body.

I my runs are to be outside, they are done early morning or late evening. I make sure to hydrate more than normal and slow down.. way down. My non-air conditioned gym is sweltering too but at least the sun isn't also baking me so I do a lot in there. Of it's really unbearable, I take to the treadmill in my basement with a and fan. I also warn my other half that he should plan on me being crankier than usual when I it's exceptionally hot for working out.
