You have all the best intentions to spend every moment of summer '16 out in the sun, from brunches at restaurants with sidewalk seating to picnic days in Prospect Park and long days at New York City beaches. You'd extend it to your workout, too, but when that humidity hits, it's tough to launch yourself into an activity that'll make you sweat even more.
