Winter is long where I live, but nearly every May, we get a teaser week of 80 degree weather. After a long, cold winter and a cool spring, none of us are ever prepared for this sudden week of summer weather. We all act like we're melting and even have the gall to complain about beautiful, warm, sunny days after months with no sunshine. The problem is that though we love that kind of weather, we just need time to get our bodies used to it!
When you take your winter indoor workout outside for the summer, the same kind of thinking applies. Just because you've built up a level of fitness on a treadmill doesn't mean you can take that same workout onto the hot trails and sidewalks. Instead, says Forbes, take a few steps to summer-proof your workout so that you can exercise safely in the summer heat.
By starting slow and being proactive about sun safety, pollen counts, and dehydration, you can spend the summer enjoying the warm weather and building your fitness levels at the same time.
