Easier to get limber in the heat. Of course, you have to watch yourself a
bit more and be *sure* to get enough water, and not get sunburned or
anything. What works best for me is to just not work out in the worst
heat of the day, but take it easy at that point; and do any working out
either before breakfast or long enough after dinner for it to be some
digested.
Ranch beans will do the gaseous state thing to you as well, but maybe it's
easier to overdo it on the refried ones. Either way, I'm going to tell
about the funniest gag gift my husband got for Christmas: a little bag of
beans, labelled "Texas bubble bath", with instructions to prepare the
beans, eat them, and take a bath 1 hour after eating them.
