Even if you’re a very fit person, exercising outdoors in hot summer weather can be dangerous. Unless you take the necessary precautions, the heat and humidity can cause dehydration, dizziness, and exhaustion. Here are a few smart tips to help you exercise safely outside all summer long.

• Stay hydrated. This one may seem obvious, but dehydration is the leading cause of illness and injury during hot weather exercise. Be sure to drink a lot of water not only during and after exercise, but also beforehand to fuel your body for your workout.
• Choose smart times. Because the sun is lower (and so is the temperature) during the morning and evening, these are the smartest times to exercise outdoors.
• Wear the right clothes. While you might wear sweatpants to exercise outdoors in the fall, you should invest in something lightweight and absorbent in the summer. Try synthetic fabrics like Spandex and Lycra, as these wick away moisture.
• Listen to your body. Even if you’ve only been running for 10 minutes, that might be too much for your body in the dog days of summer. If you start to feel lightheaded and dizzy while exercising, make sure that you stop or slow down, no matter how long it’s been.

Everyone needs a reliable local pizza joint for take-out and delivery, and here in Norristown, Olympia Pizzeria and Restaurant on Germantown Pike is just the place! The pizzas have thick, crispy crusts, and come with a variety of flavor profiles that range from plain cheese to a vegetable-centric pizza primavera. If you are feeling really adventurous, try out the breakfast pizza topped with bacon, eggs, and sausage.

The menu features some standard "pizza place" fare, like gyros, chicken wings, hoagies, and calzones, but there's also an extensive selection of seafood, pasta, and sandwiches. Aside from the pizza, Yelp reviewers recommend the chicken cheesesteaks, the souvlaki platter, and the frozen desserts.

Regulars praise the promptness and friendliness of the delivery drivers, the cleanliness of the small dining room, and the attentive customer service.
