When you're first getting acclimated to working out outdoors, it's best to start with roughly 15 minutes of moderate exercise at a time. As your conditioning improves, you can begin to add 2-3 minutes to each session. Take plenty of rest breaks and be careful not to try to do too much too soon. Pay close attention to how you feel after each period of activity. If you detect that your performance is dropping off, play it safe and decrease your intensity or take longer breaks. It typically takes about two weeks for the average person to become heating acclimatized. Fill up on cold water before you set out to bike, hike or jog and plan for frequent hydration stops along the way. Keeping your tissues flushed with water is crucial if you're going to be slogging it out in stifling conditionselevated temperatures will cause you to sweat constantly, even when you're not actively exerting yourself. Dehydration can be deceptive. Replenish your fluid levels at regular intervals, whether you feel thirsty or not. Always carry a water bottle with you, or make sure there's another available source of water nearby. Sports drinks replenish not only fluids, but also essential electrolytes which are needed to power your muscles through a workout. After your first couple of weeks in a new environment, crank up the duration of your activity to around an hour at a time. This will soon become easier, and you can begin spending even longer periods outdoors. If your goal is to acclimatize as quickly as possible, plan on building up to least two hours a day. Once you're able to comfortably stay out for two or more hours a day, you'll begin to feel much more at ease in motion and at rest. Raise your tolerance by finding an area with some light shade or stripping off non-essential items of clothing rather than seeking refuge indoors. Monitor your heart rate and breathing patterns vigilantly and be ready to call it a day if they start getting out of control. Even if you're an elite athlete, there will come a point when your body can no longer keep up with the demands of working out in the heat. At this point, your continued efforts can go from difficult to dangerous. Listen to your body, not your exercise journal. Stop what you're doing and seek out a shady place to rest when you feel the heat getting to you, even if you haven't finished your session. Consider splitting your workouts up into multiple short sessions to reduce your risk of overheating.

One-sentence summary -- Perform small bursts of activity. Drink plenty of water. Increase the amount of time you spend outside gradually. Don't exceed your limits.

This is also called the "apex" of the rack. Make sure the 1-ball is at the apex, the 8-ball is in the middle of the rack, and both a stripe and solid are at the bottom corner, but line up all the other balls in random fashion. If solids and solids are together, or stripes and stripes, that's okay. One variant of this step in amateur play is to vary the edges of the rack so that the pattern is stripe, solid, stripe, solid, etc. This will result in the two corner balls being the same, i.e. either both stripe or both solid. Another variant of this step in amateur play is to order the balls down and from left to right, according to their number. This will always result in the 1-ball being at the apex, the 11 and 15 being at the bottom corners, and the 5-ball being in the 8's customary position. The center of the first ball should be in the middle of the table at one quarter of the length. Some tables have this spot marked with a small dot.

Most GPS devices can find much more than addresses these days. Try searching "Indian Food," "Post Offices," "Gas," "Rock Climbing Gyms," or whatever else you are interested in and see what pops up. This can be incredibly useful when you are in a new city, or if you just feel like finding the closest burrito shop. Apps and Internet enabled GPS (like those found on phones) will always have this feature. Many portable GPS devices have a section labeled "Nearby Locations" or "Find Locations" that list businesses within a short radius of your current location. Geocaching is when people hide objects in the world with GPS coordinates. It is a global community that prides itself on sharing and exploration, and can be a great way to see the outdoors. To Geocache, buy a GPS and sign up for one of the many internet-based services and forums. Most modern GPS devices and apps can be turned on while you run or bike, and store the information on your speed, elevation, and distance for later. You will need a specific app like NikeFit, MapMyRun, or AppleHealth to get the most out of this feature. Because smartphones are constantly hooked up to a GPS, you can use them to find lost or stolen phones if you act quickly. Download a tracking app on for your phone and sync it with your computer to always keep tabs on your phone's location. Use "Find my iPhone," by going to the Find my iPhone Website and inputting your Apple username. Log onto Google's online "Device Manager" to find your lost/stolen android phone without a tracking app. You can even download "Android Lost" to your phone remotely to get your phone's coordinates.
