]]> Summer may be coming to a close, but, unfortunately, it seems as if the heat won’t be going anywhere just yet. While we’ve certainly enjoyed all of the beach days, barbecues, and camping trips that the weather over the last few months has allowed for, we also can’t deny that scorching hot days have a tendency to leave us feeling seriously drained. Well, it turns out there’s a reason that the heat makes us tired, and, fortunately, there are a few simple ways to deal with it. Read on for a few of our best tips. 

Why the Heat Makes Us Tired

When the thermometer climbs, our bodies have to work overtime to keep our internal temperature regulated. The main way that this is achieved is through sweating, which carries heat away from the center of the body through our skin. However, this process consumes a significant amount of energy and causes us to lose fluids, decreasing blood volume and making it more difficult for the heart to circulate blood and oxygen. All of these factors combined are a recipe for fatigue.

How to Beat the Heat

Stay Hydrated: Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to replenish lost fluids and give your body the support it needs to regulate your temperature more efficiently. The best way to do this is to drink small amounts of water at frequent intervals—aim for about 24-32 oz. per hour.

Be Strategic: Try to plan your schedule so that you’re able to avoid performing any strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day. Save outdoor tasks for mornings or evenings when the temperature tends to be lower and the sun is less intense.

Keep Cool: Use fans, air conditioning, and cool showers to lower your body temperature throughout the day. Stay in the shade when working outdoors, and if you start to feel ill, seek medical attention as quickly as possible.

]]> With the summer sun shining bright, it’s time to take your fitness routine outdoors and embrace the warmth. But exercising in the heat can present its own set of challenges. Don’t let the high temperatures discourage you from breaking a sweat! In this post, we’ll explore some fun and practical tips to help you exercise safely and comfortably in the scorching summer heat.

Timing is Key

Opt for early mornings or late evenings when the temperatures are cooler. Avoid the peak heat hours, usually between 10 am and 4 pm, when the sun is at its strongest. This way, you can enjoy your workout without battling the intense heat.

Hydrate

Staying hydrated is essential during any workout, but it becomes even more crucial in hot weather. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your exercise session. Consider carrying a water bottle with you and take regular sips to stay hydrated throughout.

Dress for Success

Choose lightweight and breathable clothing that allows sweat to evaporate easily. Opt for moisture-wicking fabrics that help to regulate your body temperature. Don’t forget to wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun’s rays.

Seek Shade

If possible, find shaded areas for your workout. Whether it’s a park with ample trees or a covered outdoor space, exercising in the shade can provide some relief from the direct sun.

Embrace Water-Based Workouts

One of the best ways to beat the heat while exercising is to dive into water-based workouts. Whether it’s swimming laps, water aerobics, or paddleboarding, water activities provide a refreshing and low-impact way to stay active without feeling the heat’s intensity.

Cool Down and Recover

After your workout, take time to cool down and allow your body to recover. Find a cool spot to stretch, relax, and bring your body temperature down. Consider using cold towels, ice packs, or even indulging in a refreshing post-workout smoothie or popsicle to help you cool off.

Hydrating properly and picking the right time of the day for your tennis sessions can help you handle the heat, but clothes can also play a crucial role in keeping you cool.

White Clothing

White clothes became a symbol of this sport over the years, but players don’t only wear them because they look nice. White and light-colored clothing absorbs less heat and you should incorporate it into your tennis training because it will help you stay cool.

Breathable Materials

In addition to coming in lighter colors, your workout clothes should also be breathable and lightweight. Materials like this will pull the sweat away from your skin and prevent you from overheating quickly.

Proper Shade

Hats are another key part of tennis gear that players wear out of necessity, and not to simply look cool. They make it possible to shade yourself and keep the sun from blasting at you. You can also use them to keep the sweat from your eyes, and wearing a sweatband is also a good idea for that same reason.

It has the power to slow you down and make your training extremely uncomfortable, but that’s not the rule. Several studies have shown short-term heat training can be beneficial, as long as you prepare your body for what’s coming.

Improved athletic performance

Training in the heat can be pretty effective, as long as you’re careful and don’t go overboard. Limit your workouts to a sensible amount of time and don’t do it every day. Give your body time to develop tolerance by working out for a short while, until you’re ready for more.

Numerous health benefits

Heat training can increase athlete’s plasma volume and decrease heart rate, leading to a better cardiovascular fitness. Increase in plasma volume helps your body cool down faster, reducing overall core temperature at the same time. Working out in the heat can also increase skeletal muscle force.

Better heat regulation

As mentioned before, heat training can lead to lower core temperature at the onset of sweating. Athletes who train in a warmer climate are better in regulating heat because they start sweating earlier and usually develop a colder resting body temperature.

But during the summer, you lose breeze and can also lose some motivation. Here are a few ways that we like to stay cool while we workout.

Shower Dip

Right before you workout, go into a cold shower and submerge your hair in the water. Don’t wring it out–the water will slowly evaporate into the heat, but you’ll stay cool with the water dripping down! You can also dip in the shower with your workout shirt on, which will take longer to heat up.

Ice Water

Put your water bottle in the freezer a few hours before your workout. It will slowly melt as your routine goes on, but is a refreshing and rejuvenating beverage while the ice lasts. You can also do this with your workout clothes so they stay cool as well.

Wear Light Clothing

Black absorbs sunlight, making you hotter! Light colors like white will reflect the sun, keeping your body cool. So make good activewear choices!
