Summer exercise tips

No matter which season it is, we should pay attention to exercising more, because this can effectively improve the body's resistance and prevent more diseases. However, because the seasons are different, the issues that need to be paid attention to and understood during the exercise process are also different. So below we will analyze and introduce in detail the precautions you need to know when exercising in summer.

1Avoid high temperature "operation"

In summer, you should keep your exercise volume low and duration short to allow your body to slowly adapt to the hot weather. In particular, try to avoid outdoor sports between noon and 2 p.m. when the sun is strong, because the ultraviolet rays are particularly strong during this time and can burn the skin and even irritate the retina and meninges.

2. Choose sweat-wicking clothing

When exercising in the summer, the temperature and humidity are very high. Be sure to wear sweat-absorbent cotton shirts and avoid tight sportswear. If the humidity cannot be discharged, it will cause great pressure on the heart. Also, you cannot use your body to dry clothes. It is best to prepare a set of dry clothes, especially the top, and change the wet clothes immediately after exercise, otherwise it is easy to cause rheumatism or arthritis and other diseases.

3. Rehydrate in advance

The temperature is very high in summer, and extensive exercise will cause the body to lose water quickly. Therefore, it is recommended to drink 800 ml of water half an hour before exercise. If you exercise outdoors for more than 30 minutes, be sure to bring a bottle of water, preferably one that can replenish salt.

5. Don’t drink too much water

If you drink a lot of water after exercise, it will add burden to the circulatory system, digestive system, and especially the heart, making you more tired. Drinking a lot of water will only result in more sweating, and salt will be further lost, causing spasms and cramps. It is recommended to drink water in small amounts and multiple times, taking only a few sips each time. In addition, you should not drink too much cold drinks after exercise, otherwise the body will suddenly become cold inside and hot outside and lose balance, causing stomach discomfort.

After the analysis and introduction above, friends who exercise regularly need to pay attention. Only by paying attention to the methods and principles of these exercises can they effectively avoid some adverse effects and injuries during exercise, so that they can achieve the most ideal exercise results.
