"1. Drink Up
"When it's hot, I drink at least two more cups of water than usual," says Robert McLane of Scottsdale, Arizona. If you're going out early, "hydrate throughout the day before," says Aaron Runyon of Pace, Florida. The rule of thumb is to aim for 16 to 32 ounces of fluid per hour of exercise, or three to six ounces every 15 to 20 minutes. "Make sure you hydrate with fluids containing electrolytes since you will be sweating a lot of salt out," says John Eng of New York City. Look for a drink that contains 25 to 50 grams of carbs, 230 to 345 milligrams of sodium, and 40 to 100 milligrams of potassium."
