We love Summer! But for some that means heat. Be smart and safe while sticking to your exercise program. Following simple guidelines will help you stay on target.
Summer Exercise Safety Guidelines
Do it earlier or later! If you don’t work out in a temperature controlled environment you may need to change your schedule. Get up an hour earlier to take that run before the heat kicks in. It’s not recommended to exercise when the mercury is 90 degrees.Decrease the intensity of your workout when it’s hot. Both heat and humidity can raise your heart rate. It’s better to be safe.Switch it up! Change your workout to include water sports if you can. Swimming is one of the best exercises there is and it’s easy on the joints.Dress appropriately. There are many options now in moisture-wicking fabrics. Make sure to apply sunscreen to exposed skin.Stay hydrated. In times of extreme heat or humidity you can sweat 3 times more than normal.
