No matter how much you love working out, staying motivated in hot and humid weather can be extremely difficult. If you’re having a hard time committing to your summer workouts, use these tricks to give yourself a motivational boost.

Morning Workouts

Switching Things Up

Running, cycling, and hitting the gym are not your only workout options. Summer is rich in opportunities for all sorts of different outdoor activities that will give you a major calorie burn.

Reward System

Working out in the summer comes with a unique set of obstacles, and you should give yourself a tap on the back for doing it. Treat yourself for staying committed to your fitness routine by setting up a reward system—preferably one that doesn’t involve unhealthy treats.
