Summer fitness routines

Summer is the perfect opportunity for outdoor sports! Let's look at some dynamic forms of exercise that you will love in these "hot" months.

  1. One of the few forms of sport that is suitable for most people, even small children, older people or even people with joint problems. Swimming is aerobic exercise that trains the whole body, burns fat, strengthens muscles and increases heart endurance.
  2. Beach volleyball and rackets. Another two sports suitable for days spent at the beach (having slathered on plenty of sunscreen to protect your skin). They exercise mainly the upper and lower limbs, but also the trunk. The sun and heat cause intense sweating, and to avoid sunburn and dehydration it is good to drink water regularly and choose light-colored clothes while exercising on the beach.

 

The loss of water and electrolytes in the summer always requires attention, so we make sure to drink at least 2 liters of water a day, and to enrich our diet with foods rich in potassium, such as lots of fruits and vegetables.

 

Also, we make sure to choose better early morning or evening hours for our exercise outside, to avoid the hours when the sun is strongest, and we choose cool and shady places as much as possible.
