Hope you’re managing to stay cool with this heatwave?

My top tips when doing Pilates in this heat

Windows & doors opened for any breeze
Turn on a fan
Drink lots of water- iced water is so cooling!
Take regular breaks
Take your time changing positions esp staffing up from the floor
Take your socks off
Minimise your clothing (as appropriate of course)
Keep the room dark by keeling curtains drawn

Mostly keep practising just be more careful & thoughtful about your fluids & foods.
