]]> Now that the temperatures are rising, it’s time to get some vitamin D and bring your workouts outside. Whether you’re running, walking, hiking, swimming, or cycling, exercising outside in the heat can be dangerous if you don’t take the necessary steps to stay safe. Here are five tips for how to safely work out in the heat of the summer.

Wear the Right Gear

Stay away from cotton and spandex as they trap heat and sweat. Instead, get tank tops and shorts made of moisture-wicking materials that are in light colors. These clothes will keep your skin dry and help you feel cooler. Also, wearing a hat and sunglasses isn’t a bad idea.

Exercise Early or Late

During the summer, exercise early in the morning or late in the evening. Avoid working out between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM because this is the hottest time of the day.

Find Shade

Find a place that’s out of direct sunlight and try and stay away from asphalt because it absorbs heat. No matter where you workout outside, wear sunscreen.

Stay Hydrated

Carry a water bottle with you when working out outside and throughout the day, remember to stay hydrated.

Drink Sports Drinks

If you’re exercising outside for longer than an hour, bring sports drinks to replenish electrolytes and sodium. Choose ones that aren’t high in sugar or added sweeteners and that aren’t processed.

]]> With gyms closed, we’ve had to update our workouts. While home workouts are great, it’s always nice to get some fresh air and to leave the house. If you want to bring your workout outside, it’s important to practice social distancing to protect yourself from the coronavirus and to be smart when choosing where to exercise. We don’t advise working out on the playground or in crowded areas. Before you go for your workout, be smart, and err on the side of caution. Here are some tips when working out outside during the pandemic.

Keep Your Distance

While working out outside, make sure you keep at least six feet of physical distance. If you notice that other people around you aren’t adhering to social distancing, find a new spot to exercise. Try and find times that are less busy and places that are less crowded for working out.

Create Your Own Space and Keep it Clean

Make you own workout space with TRX trainers, resistance bands, and yoga mats. Be sure to always carry disinfectant wipes in your gym bag to clean surfaces before you use them.

Keep Workout Groups Small

If you like working out with other people, you can still do group fitness classes while maintaining social distancing. Make sure you stick to the rules for gathering for your state regarding the amount of people who can be in one space. Some gyms are hosting outdoor classes and they’re strict about adhering to health and safety practices.

Wear a Mask

While wearing a mask can be uncomfortable and restricting, face masks reduce the transmission of coronavirus, and the CDC recommends wearing a mask anytime you leave your home.

The most debated question of all in the runners world right now! "To mask or un-mask"😅😅 Yes, elite athletes train with a mask or in controlled environments of atmospheric pressure to mimic a high altitude condition to improve cardiovascular fitness. But, let's not forget the amount of medical/crew vigilance and support they possess in case of an adversity. Being recreational runners who run to stay healthy or even to challenge our mind & body while still managing family,work and societal responsibilities, let's not get carried away trying to 'Fit in'! Does being able to run at certain paces, covering a particular monthly mileage,surpassing challenges thrown at us in running groups '"DEFINE US?'"! If we are in that illusion, probably it's time to take a step back and retrospect. With the current situation of covid and the rule to not step out without a mask for safety, I feel it boils down to our own judgement on this matter. I'm certainly not recommending running without a mask but would urge each of us to be mindful about our purpose and how it might impact us/others when we run with or without it! #runningwithmask #ultrarunner #covideffect #dontfitin
