Exercising in the Heat

Too hot can be dangerous:

-Nausea

-Increase workload in the heart

-Dizziness

These are just a few.

Some effects on the body:

-Decrease aerobic capacity

-Increase body temperature and sweat rate

A few tips to help you through:

-Dont stress if it’s too hot. Missing a training session will not ruin your progress

-Fluids-drinky plenty and often. An electrolyte drink may be beneficial for longer activities

-Change your training – instead of long aerobic exercise do shorter bouts and rest in the shade (sometimes mixing your training can increase the benefits)

-Exercise early or later in the day if the temperature is cooler
