Summer has officially hit Kansas City and summer workouts can be challenging due to the heat, but with the right strategies, you can stay cool and keep up your fitness routine. Here's how:
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Drink water before, during, and after your workout. Consider sports drinks for longer sessions to replenish electrolytes.
Timing is Key: Exercise during the cooler parts of the day, like early morning or late evening, to avoid the peak heat.
Dress Smart: Wear light-colored, loose-fitting, and moisture-wicking clothing to stay cooler and drier.
Take Breaks: Listen to your body. Take regular breaks in the shade or indoors to cool down.
Cooling Techniques: Use a wet bandana around your neck, or spray yourself with water to lower your body temperature.
Choose the Right Environment: Opt for indoor workouts or shaded outdoor areas to minimize heat exposure.
Stay safe and enjoy your summer workouts by keeping cool and hydrated!
