If you're exersing in cold weather you should bring lots of gear. You should also dress in layers.

Some more useful things are:

To know the signs of frostbite and hypothermia,

Check the weather conditions,

And drink plenty of fluids.

Without these it is very dangerous!

For hot weather:

Bring alot of fluids,

Dont forget to wear sunscreen,

Wear comfortable clothes (Ex. Its not a really good idea to wear a heavy jacket/ sweatshirt on a hot day)

You should also wear some sort of hat to resist sun coming in your eyes.

Also you should protect your head, hands, feet, ears, and any other parts of your body while doing a certain sport/exercise!

I hope this helped.

When active in extreme weather you should always mind two things, your outfit and hydration. Keeping yourself hydrated and protected is essential, as wearing a cap and sunglasses can protect you in the sun just like scarves and gloves can protect you in the cold. Hydration is of extreme importance because you can collapse without enough water during a hot weather wave.
