We’ve all been there, but we have done it? Our regular training has become more difficult because of the heat and humidity outdoors. For some, it’s the perfect excuse to delay never even entertain the thought of doing some physical activity again. On the other hand, has always been a “sharp little”, they are very eager to maximize profits for the year they decided to do so in the blistering heat. Needless to say, many of them actually harm their health.
Does that mean that the training should be abandoned and left to the coldest days? There is no reason for it. Not many activities in life more refreshing swim in the pool or lake on a hot day. Not only is it cool, but it is also the perfect exercise. A jog in the forest is another option, as the temperature is bound to be lower by several degrees and no shade provided by trees. If there is no swimming pool or in a garden near you and work inside is out of the question for some reason, you have to be very careful about how you go about your routine. Here are some things to consider.
Time of Day
Avoid exercising in the hottest part of the day. Try to arrange your day to squeeze in a workout before or after 09:00 18:00 Most of us usually work out at the time of the day anyway, but it’s important to stay during a heat wave. This is particularly important in an area with more pollution, because the heat just makes it even less bearable.
Avoid dehydration
You need to take enough water or other fluid replacement drink before, during and after training. hot conditions cause more sweat, which means the loss of even more subtle. Most likely is a common plastic bottles will not stay cold enough, so you might consider investing in a modern advanced water bottles.
Shadow
Although it may seem obvious, it is worth taking into account. Look at the trees, tall buildings or anything that can provide shade during exercise. This can mean zigzag a bit, but definitely worth it. Mind you know that the temperature is the same, but your body does not share that view and react very differently.
Clothes
very hot weather means that you should avoid cotton favorites (almost) everyone. In theory, you can go topless, but there is also a new performance fabrics designed to assist in the exercise in the scorching heat. In addition, although hardly be categorized as clothing, but equally important, do not forget to apply sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher.
Settings
Try to adjust the duration and intensity of your exercise slowly. Gradually increase the tension and give your body time to adapt for a few days if possible. This is particularly important in a case that will replace the gym (ie, air-conditioned) with free air for some reason.
Simply go from point A to point B
Common sense tells us that the extreme temperatures should be avoided. However, sometimes we have no choice but to leave, in spite of the heat. If you really have to do that, considering the increasingly popular self-balancing scooter, which uses small movements and weight changes that will take you to your destination without actually sweating.
Heat, as we all know, can make a huge threat to our health if proper precautions are not taken. However, it is manageable as long as it is determined to start or continue the exercise. Some studies claim that the same activity more profitable in hot climates if the moisture level is the same. We just have to adapt and reap the benefits.
