Summertime….to us this means flip flops, pools, beaches and cook outs. What’s not to love? We can’t hardly believe that here we are July 30th – one more month and the kids go back to school. In our “Summer Tips” series, we will be posting a few simple life lessons that we have either learned or “re”-learned so far this season!
HOT, HOT AND HOTTER! This summer has been one of the hottest in history in the mid-Atlantic region and I re-learned a valuable lesson in hydration very early on when I went running on a very hot and humid day in early June (I should have checked the forecast!). I didn’t bring enough water and paid very dearly for it! As my running partners where still hydrated with energy, I on the other hand was feeling so sluggish, had to take extra breaks and walked the last mile back.
So let’s us all review hydration basics:
Rule #1 – on average, we should all be consuming at least 100 ounces of WATER on a daily basis. On days that there is extreme heat, up that to 128 ounces which is a gallon.
Rule #2 – wear loose fitting, lightweight clothing. Running Skirts are a great option!! Fun, cute and so very functional.
Rule #3 – if you must exercise outside on hot days, do so very early in the morning – yes, this means before 9am. Two benefits….avoid the heat and get that workout done and over with!
Rule #4 – If you are working out for longer than 60 minutes, you’ll most likely need more than water. Have something with you that has some electrolytes or other form of energy.

Background on the founders of Margarita Activewear:
After many years as aerobics instructors and running a successful gym in Latin America, the experience Margarita Activewear gained from working with thousands of exercise enthusiasts, taught them one important lesson. And that is the simple fact that exercise clothing was just not good enough. Fabrics were fragile, outfits uncomfortable and there wasn’t a brand that dared to be original.
That is where Margarita Activewear came in.
Gathering ideas from colleagues and gym members, identifying the best quality, the toughest fabrics and textures, the most stylish colors and shapes, they redesigned, respecified and developed brand new exciting ranges that go beyond the confines of conventional fitness gear into the world of tops sports fashion. Plus they added a sprinkling of salsa too!
Situated in Northern Israel, Margarita Activewear’s objective was to create an exclusive range inspired byy the natural beauty of the location any by our travels across the world, seeking out extraordinary fabrics, and incorporating them in to every design, ensuring exclusivity.
Margarita Activewear items are expertly made by top class artisans combined with state of the art technology. Our intricate and complicated patters which are skillfully handcrafted and hand sewn by a dedicated team, result in exceptional designs that are unique to Margarita Activewear and which are sought after worldwide.
