Drink water
Drink plenty of water before, during and after walking, especially
when it's hot or humid. If you're going to walk in the heat for an
hour, drink water at least 15 minutes before you go out and every
15 minutes during your walk. (If you walk longer than an hour,
drink a carbohydrate and salt replacement drink, like Gatorade.)
Don't wait until you feel thirsty to drink. On long walks, carry
water. Belted water bottle holders are great because it's better to
have your arms balanced and swinging freely
