Well, summer is well on its way if not already here! With temperatures reaching nearly 28 degrees last week I was already out in my backyard before 12.00 ready to begin on my summer tan!
Many people will be dreading this warmer weather as it means that all the wobbly bits you have kept hidden in winter will be exposed during the warmer climate!
So, what better excuse than to give your body a blitz to give you that ‘bikini body’ this summer with the warm weather and the long days!
Here are some summer survival fitness tips-
• Stay hydrated- water has many essential functions such as transporting nutrients around the body, elimination of waste and lubricating the joints and tissues. Without enough hydration the heart has to work harder to move blood through the blood stream which in turn can cause cramping, dizziness and fatigue and even heat stroke!
• Don’t train between the hours of 11.00 and 15.00 as this is the hottest part of the day!
• Wear comfortable loose clothing- to allow circulation of air between your skin and the environment. Also, wear light colored clothing as it reflects the light
• Acclimate your body to the warmer temperatures- it can take between one and two weeks for your body to adjust to the warmer weather, so make sure you start slowly
• Don’t forget to wear your sunscreen!
