Good morning, 

Tip of the day......Exercising in warm weather

Exercising in warm weather can be challenging, but with the right strategies, it can also be enjoyable and invigorating. Here are some tips to help you enjoy exercise in warm weather:
 

1. Exercise Early or Late

• Avoid peak heat (usually between 11am–4pm).
• Go for a morning session when it’s cooler and air quality is better, or a sunset walk or class when the temperature drops.

2. Stay Hydrated

• Drink water before, during, and after your workout.
• Add electrolytes (like a pinch of salt or a hydration tablet) if you’re sweating a lot.
• Eat water-rich fruits like watermelon, oranges, or cucumber post-workout.

3. Dress for the Heat

• Wear lightweight, breathable, and light-coloured clothing.

4. Find Shaded or Indoor Areas

• Exercise in parks with tree cover, or shaded lanes.
• Try indoor classes or home workouts with fans or air con on hotter days.

5. Use Water to Cool Off

• Splash cool water on your wrists, neck, and face before or after exercising.
• Try aqua aerobics, swimming, or even gentle stretches in the paddling pool.

6. Listen to Your Body

• Don’t push too hard – reduce intensity if needed.
• Rest if dizzy, lightheaded, or overheated.

7. Choose the Right Activities

• Swap high-intensity sessions for Pilates, yoga, or stretching routines.
• Go for a gentle walk, bike ride, or gardening in the cooler parts of the day.
