Summer Fitness Tips

During the summer, the best time to exercise outside is in the early morning or late evening. Avoid working out in the middle of the day when the temperature is at it's highest. For stretching, breaks and cooling off, choose to find comfort in the shade. Try SmartSole Exercise Insoles to help you burn more calories with every step and turn your everyday footwear into toning shoes. The sun can be very draining and cause heat exhaustion. With the heat, you will perspire more and lose lots of fluid so hydration is key. Drink as much water as you can to help replace the fluids lost in perspiration. If you want to be hydrated but also crave some flavor, drinking flavored water is a great way to go. Coconut water is also an excellent substitution for traditional drinking water. It's a great alternative because not only does it help with hydration, but it also contains potassium, which helps prevent muscle cramping due to exercise.
