Enjoy your outdoor workout safely
Summer presents the wonderful opportunity of being able to exercise outdoors almost every day. Save for the occasional thunder storm or dangerously high temperature, most times you are able to put in your roadwork with no issue.However, outdoor workouts present their own unique set of challenges, especially during these hot summer months. The last thing you want is to be sidelined with an injury or health complication. So, try the following tips to keep the summer sun from taking you out of the race.
- Stay hydrated. Aim for four to six ounces of water for every 15 minutes of exercise.
- Try moisture-control or moisture-wicking fabrics to keep sweat away from your skin. You may also want to dress in layers if you're starting out early in the morning.
- Protect your feet with properly-fitting sneakers and moisture-wicking socks.
- Keep the sun from taking a toll on your skin with copious amounts of sunblock, as well as a hat and a pair of shades to protect your eyes.
