When Summer Begins, Outside Workouts
Don’t Have to End
-
Wear light-colored, loose-fitting
clothing and a hat to keep your face and head cool.
There are specially manufactured materials in stores
that you can buy to help keep moisture away from the
skin.
-
Wear a specially formulated
sunscreen for participating in sports. They tend to
be less greasy and stay on better. Also, wear UV
protecting sunglasses to guard against ultra violet
radiation.
-
If you feel especially fatigued,
slow down. Even top-notch athletes know when to say,
“uncle”. If you still feel depleted, take a cool
shower.
If you are experiencing heat cramps, which are less
severe than regular cramps, it may be a sign your
body is having problems with the heat so lower the
intensity.
-
Stay away from highly sweetened
waters during activity because they may upset your
stomach. Also, carbonated drinks during a workout
may cause a dehydrating effect so consider sticking
with regular water.
