]]>No Summer Heat
No matter how much you love summer, you must admit it can be brutal due to sky-high temperatures. The best way to avoid them is to start working out in a refreshing morning breeze, making your workouts much more enjoyable and safe.
Energize Your Day
Working out early in the morning is a great way to start your day on the right note, and unlock a surge of energy that will set the stage for a productive and exhilarating day.
Avoid the Crowds
Evening workouts are another popular option for hot summer months, but they come with one major downside. Streets and trials tend to be much more crowded during those hours, while mornings can bring a sense of tranquility and calmness to your fitness routine.
Enjoy Other Hobbies
If you leave your workouts for the evening, you might find it tough to squeeze in time for socializing with friends or pursuing other interests. That’s why it’s a good idea to knock out your workout in the morning and focus on your other hobbies in your free time.

]]>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.

]]>Trail Length
You’re putting yourself at the risk of sunstroke by spending an entire day hiking when it’s extremely warm outside. That’s why it’s a good idea to plan for shorter hikes. Do some research before picking your trail and figure out how long it is to avoid lengthy trails that will have you hiking all day long.
Dangerous Wildlife
When doing your research, try to learn if you’re going to face any dangerous wildlife on your trail. Try to avoid trails where you might stumble upon wild animals and learn how to deal with them in case that happens.
More Shade
It’s crucial to plan your hikes with shade in mind during the hot summer months. Even if you head out early, the sun will most likely rise during your hike, so it’s much better to opt for a shaded trail where you won’t be exposed to the sun for longer periods of time.

]]>Strict Diets
Most people’s appetite changes in the summer, but you shouldn’t use the fact that you’re less hungry to embrace a dangerous diet. Even if your appetite decreases in the heat, you should still make sure to stay well-fed and properly hydrated and not use this phenomenon as an extra reason to start a strict diet.
“Bikini Body”
“Bikini body” is the unachievable standard you’ll be bombarded with from all sides this summer. On the surface level, it may seem like the idea of the perfect summer body can be inspirational, but it’s actually putting too much pressure on women to look a certain way and you shouldn’t use it for a motivational boost.
Outdoor Activities
Stepping outdoors is one of the most common motivational tips for the hot summer months, but it doesn’t work for everyone. If you think you could enjoy it, give it a shot, but don’t feel bad if you prefer training at your local gym or your living room. Every routine has its perks and you should pick one that works for you.

]]>Wear the Right Clothing
The two things to consider when picking your workout outfits are color and breathability. Opt for bright colors as they will reflect the sun and make you more visible too. Make sure the fabric is lightweight and sweat-wicking. Polyester and cotton are good choices.
Timing is Everything
Generally, 10 am to 3 am is considered to be the hottest time of the day during the summer. If you’re planning an outdoor workout, try to do it either early in the morning or towards the evening.
Don’t Forget to Hydrate!
When you lose big amounts of water, everything from your perception of fatigue to short-term memory can be affected. Make sure to spring 16 to 24 ounces of water in two hours before exercise, and four to six ounces every 20 minutes during your workout.
Know Your Limits
The most important thing is to listen to your body. If you begin to feel dizzy, nauseous, or tired, give yourself a break. Take some time to rest or take your workout indoors.

]]>No Protection
Wearing sunscreen is a must during outdoor summer workouts, and bike rides are no exception. Sunscreen is the first line of protection, but you also shouldn’t forget to wear a helmet to shield your head and wear clothes that are fitting for this kind of weather.
Wrong Time and Place
Timing can make or break your bike rides, and you should always hit the road early or late in the day when temperatures are the coolest. This will allow you to get acclimated to higher temperatures, but finding a trail that offers enough shade also comes in handy.
Not Cooling Down
There’s nothing wrong with taking breaks to cool down if it’s too hot outside during your bike rides. Your performance and health can suffer when temperatures are too high, and taking breaks can help you avoid putting too much pressure on yourself, and it gives you just enough time to re-hydrate.

]]>Staying Cool
Once you find ways to stay cool during your summer workouts, you won’t struggle so much committing to them. Working out at the gym with a functioning AC is your safest bet, but you can also stay cool by picking the right clothing and making sure you’re properly hydrated.
San Francisco (@jaleen.u)Perfect Timing
If you’re working out outdoors, it’s extremely important to perfectly time your workouts. Early morning or late evening are the best options because temperatures are at their lowest, and it’s up to you to pick the time of day when you feel the most motivated.
Summer Activities
If classic gym simply doesn’t do it for you, and you don’t enjoy the usual outdoor activities such as running and biking, it’s time to think outside the box. The list of summer-only sports you can try is pretty much endless, and swimming, kayaking, and standup paddle-boarding are only some of the possible choices.

]]>Don’t Forget Sunscreen
Never head out before applying a generous coat of your favorite sunscreen. It’s up to you to pick a sun protective factor, but you should always have it by your side. Water-resistant sunscreen is a good idea because you’ll be sweating a lot. You also shouldn’t forget to reapply it because most sunscreens lose their effect after an hour or two.
Perfect Timing
Sunscreen comes in handy no matter when you’re working out, but perfectly timing your workouts can make all the difference. Avoid the hottest time of the day, and consider working out early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
Choice of Clothing
Sun protective clothing can also play an important role in preventing sunburns. Hats are a must during hot summer days, but you should also consider wearing lightweight long-sleeved shirts to avoid sun exposure if your sunscreen isn’t doing the trick.

]]>Plan Your Route
Organization is key when it comes to cycling in hot weather, so make sure to do your research ahead of time. Plan your routine carefully and find location where you can cool off and refill your water. Needless to say that the most enjoyable cycling routes for summer are around lakes and rivers.
(@jiyouxoxo)Freeze Your Water
Staying hydrated is the most important thing for riding a bike in hot weather. The best way to ensure that your water stays cold as long as possible is to freeze it the night before.
Wear Sunscreen
Don’t forget to apply sunscreen before heading out because this product is not reserved for beach days only. Make sure to protect your skin from harmful UV rays by applying sunscreen every two hours.
Morning and Evening Rides
Last but not least, the best way to avoid the hottest periods of the day is to plan an early morning or evening ride. These are definitely the safest but also the most enjoyable rides, because you’ll avoid traffic and get to enjoy the sunrise or sunset.
