Embrace the Great Outdoors: Tips for Summer Workouts
As British Summer Time kicks in, many of us are swapping the gym for outdoor adventures, soaking up the fresh air and beautiful scenery. It's a refreshing change of pace that can transform your workout routine and also saves you money—after all, fresh air comes free of charge! Here's how to make the most of your outdoor workouts this summer.
When the temperature rises, it is important to stay cool and hydrated. Here are some tips to help you beat the heat:
1. Rise and Shine
Start your workouts in the morning before the sun reaches its peak. This avoids the scorching midday heat and reduces the risk of sunburn and heat exhaustion.
2. Cover Up
While it may be tempting to shed layers, wearing lightweight, light-coloured clothing protects your skin from the sun and prevents sweat from evaporating too quickly.
3. Hydrate
Keep your body hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout your workout. Don't forget to bring along your must-have accessory: a reusable water bottle, to keep those fluids topped up while you're breaking a sweat!
4. Skip the Hot Drinks
Avoid hot beverages, as they can raise your body temperature and lead to dehydration.
Opt for iced coffee or cold beverages to stay cool.
As you embrace outdoor workouts this summer, remember to prioritise safety and hydration. With the right precautions in place, you can enjoy all the benefits of exercising in the great outdoors while keeping cool, comfortable and fully charged!
