I've been amazed to see how many people quit exercising during the summer, especially outside . I've had random people tell me to quit, but most say keep going.
There is just no reason to quit exercising outside during the summer.
But it does take extra planning to exercise outside.
1. Exercise in the morning or evening. Avoid middle of the day.
2. Drink plenty of water before exercising, if your doing morning exercising prehydrate the day before. Drink 1qt of water per every 50lbs of body weight. Plus drink a little extra while exercising.
3. Have at least 2liters of water while exercising.
4. Have sunblock, sunglasses, and hat if you like.
5. Be in a place where you can find shade if you need too.
6. Remember that it's okay not too push yourself as hard as you can any other time of year. Do the best you can, and listen to your body.
This goes, for hiking, biking, running, walking.
Now with swimming do anytime if you prefer. But still remember all the rules above.
This is more like a survivor guide. I don't want you to pass out, just as I don't want to pass out
When you get rained out, always try exercise DVDs, using a gym, or gym in your home to exercise.
*On high advisory heat days, stay inside and exercise if you can*
This information comes from the heart, and plenty of experience.
Happy exercising!
