Get in the Water!

The pool, the lake, the boat, 

Doesn’t matter! 

Water has an incredibly high specific heat

That means it can take the sweltering heat out of your body in record time

When it’s super hot out I love to go for a surf

The water’s cold, the sun is hot - it’s a combo for a perfect afternoon

Don’t have a surfboard?

Locals too aggressive?

Not to worry. 

Just ride your dirtbike out to the lineup

Snake a wave and show everyone who’s boss

Robbie Madison did it, so why not?

The Bomb and the Cold War

If moto-surfing isn’t your thing, try this:

Turn the AC on full blast

Close the shutters

And plunge into this chilling cold war docuseries

It’s a great expose that sheds some light on our history

And the arms race between East and West

We can’t change the past but we can learn from it

For example - did you know Stalin was a strapping young bank robber?

He’d knock off banks and send money to Lenin before coming to power…

It’s a wild world we live in

Take an Ice Bath

If you want to feel amazing, you need to try this out

You fill a bathtub with water and Ice (a LOT of ice, like 6 big bags)

Climb in and just sit there

 

At first, you’re thinking F### THIS!

It’s cold it’s cold it’s cold!

Every fiber of your body screams to get out NOW

 

And then - you breathe

You feel the cold air pass over your windpipe

You hear the sounds of nature outside

 

10 seconds pass, 20, 30

A minute in and you’re thinking - it’s not so bad

You focus on your breath

You meditate your way to 5 minutes and climb out

 

30 minutes later the chill is gone

Instead you feel like there’s a fire inside you

Like you’re full of energy and vitality

Like you can take anything on, run through a wall if you need

 

So give this a shot, it’s got amazing health and mental benefits

Reduction of inflammation, Energy, etc. 

 

I love the practice so much I moved to a self chilling tub at home

Hydrate with this Pick Me Up

Do you ever feel a slump in the afternoon on hot days?

I get them like crazy, brain fog would set in and I’d feel useless

 

Then I started making this drink

It’s been a miracle pick me up

 

It’s iced green tea + electrolytes

Not only does it taste incredible, but

It also turbocharges your body and mind to get out and kick ass

Here’s how you make it:

  • Cold brew your favorite tea (I use gunpowder green)
    • You can use tea bags or just put 1-2 TBS loose leaf in a french press with water
    • Put that in the fridge for 8-24hrs
  • Pour it in a glass and mix this with 1 electrolyte packet (LMNT is the cleanest, but I prefer to make my own…)

Now just sip it down and enjoy the ride!

 

That’s it for today’s top picks. I hope these help you stave off some summer heat this week. 

And if you have any fun ways to stay cool, please share them with me :)
