Summer Survival Tips for the Curvy Fit Chick
I had to come here and share some tips with my Curvy Fit Sisters! I love the summertime because the kids are out from school and there’s lots of festivals to attend. However, you and I both know that the heat brings about a challenge for us big girls. Let me share some tips that I use to survive the summer heat.
Stay Hydrated
Freeze water overnight and take with you to work, on errands, and any other place you go
Remember to take to your workouts, especially if training outdoors
Snack on fruits as another way to get in your water
Stay Prepared
Keep a bag in your trunk of extra clothing and wipes
An extra pair of cotton panties in your bag and/or purse in a ziploc bag
Have a hand towel in your bag along with other hygiene products to make freshening up at anytime possible
Don’t forget your cornstarch
Give yourself extra time to dry off after showering
Stay Dressed Appropriately
Dress in the least amount of clothes needed for the event to stay cool
Wear materials that are breathable and allow ventilation such as cotton or linen
Wear biker shorts under your dresses so that you can prevent chaffing
Workout wearing biker shorts that are tight and won’t allow the thighs to collide causing and friction and opportunity for chaffing
Remove wet clothing ASAP such as swimsuits and/or workout gear
Our main focus is on staying dry and preventing any chaffing, discomfort or rashes. Any place where there are skin folds is a potential for holding moisture, like under the breasts for me especially. It is imperative to keep these area clean and dry. These are just a few tips to help you have an enjoyable summer. As long as you follow what applies to you, you’ll be alright.
