Summer is in full swing and the temps have hit the the triple digits. This makes us hope two things for you: One, that if you're staying inside to keep cool, that you're finding ways to maintain your healthy lifestyle. Pass the time on your Wii Fit, try some fun new recipes from the Eat, Shrink and Be Merry girls, or tune into the Olympics for some truly inspiring stories. Two, if you are outside, be sure you're staying hydrated and as active as possible. The swimming pool is a great place to keep cool and have a strong workout.

Matt’s Fitness Tip
Better to Run Outside
Running on a treadmill feels easier physically because the ground is being pulled underneath your feet and there is no wind resistance or natural incline. Running outdoors demands more from your body because you are propelling your body forward stride for stride. Simulate outdoor running by setting your treadmill at a 1% incline. It is mentally tough and monotonous to run on the treadmill; you're more easily distracted running outside with the new scenery.
