This 'n that for your outdoor exercising

For those who love biking, golfing, strolling, jogging or flat out running in this great weather remember to cover up your skin. (skin cancer, no fun and melanoma linked to sun exposure is on the rise)

I've found DDF sunscreen ( spf 30) to be one of the longest lasting. When I marathon train I outrun my sunscreen and lathering up again just isn't convenient. DDF manages to protect me all through the run. It's pricey, about 28 bucks a tube, but lasts a long time. I've found it wears longer than Coppertone Sport -

Another good choice and far less costly is the Avon spray on sunscreen and bug repellent combo .. it may not last as long as the DDF but it's very convenient, especially for golfers.

My other 'tip' is to wear those foam visors with the curley bands - I know, this is not guy gear, but for the ladies, these visors are light weight and cheap .. a buck or two at a craft store. You hardly feel them on your head.

Also, don't forget to protect your eyes. It's not the color of the sunglass lens- the key is to make sure those lenses provide 99%-100% uv protection.

And now, please, no laughter, but if you're looking for tunes to help you motor through a workout, just about anything by ABBA .. as in the soundtrack to Momma Mia.

Oh, and if anyone is sidelined by chafing, get your hands on 'body glide'. It comes in a stick like deodorant. Most good sporting good stores carry the stuff. It goes for about 8 dollars and one tube should get you through the summer. It also works on your feet to prevent blisters.

Okay, now your turn .. what keeps your feet going and a sunburn from ruining your day?
