[Mission Information For North Texas PGR]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

Some of our riders have sent us some helpful hints and some product
suggestions now that the heat is upon us.  We don't endorse any of the
products mentioned here but they can certainly be food for thought as you
determine what is best for you when riding in hot weather and particularly
standing in the flag line, standing by waiting for a procession to begin,
etc.  The information sent is below.

 

Please remember that the heat doesn't play favorites and the heat can affect
things like blood pressure, blood sugar levels and all sorts of other
things.  Let's be smart and safe and look out for ourselves and each other.

 

Steve Lucas

Deputy State Captain

	When standing, your knees should be slightly bent (1/2 inch), with
feet pointed straight ahead. Keeping the knees slightly bent prevents the
hips from rotating forward. Use the big muscles in the front of the upper
legs (quadriceps) to control your posture when standing.

 


DO NOT STAND WITH YOUR KNEES LOCKED. This tilts your hips forward and puts
the pressure of standing directly on your lower back: a position of
weakness. Let the quadriceps support the body in a position of strength.
Your body will be more aligned through the hips and lower back with knees
slightly bent.
