You can choose the most primitive methods such as wearing hats and sunscreen clothing to protect against the sun.

4 Time-intensity is well controlled

In summer, the exercise time is generally up to half an hour, and it should be adjusted according to the individual situation, and the intensity should not be too large, especially when the temperature is high, so as to avoid physical discomfort.

5 Immediately stop the discomfort

6 Don't be greedy after exercise

It is not advisable to eat cold drinks and take a cold bath immediately after exercise. After exercise, the blood is mainly concentrated in the muscles and skin, and the blood supply in the stomach is relatively insufficient. At this time, it is easy to have stomach pain or even stomach cramps when stimulated by the cold. After exercising, the body temperature rises, sweating increases, the pores are enlarged, and cold water stimulation will cause the pores to shrink suddenly, which is not conducive to the heat dissipation of the body, and it is easy to get sick. You can prepare a towel to dry the sweat from your body after exercising to prevent the wind from getting cold.

7 More than just drinking water

The weather is hot in summer. When exercising, the human body sweats a lot and consumes a lot of water. Therefore, it is necessary to add enough water in time. Light hydration is not enough, and a large number of inorganic salts such as sodium, potassium, and calcium will also be lost with sweat. Therefore, when replenishing water, electrolytes should also be replenished to maintain the body's water and electrolyte balance. If you only drink water, it will cause hyponatremia, that is, the sodium content in the blood is low, and the imbalance of sodium metabolism is prone to muscle cramps.

In summer, even if you are not thirsty, pay attention to drinking plenty of water, especially before and after exercise. It is recommended to drink 200-300mL of water (about half a bottle of mineral water) every 20 minutes during exercise. After exercise, you should drink as much as possible, and makeup as much as you lack. However, you should also follow the principle of small amounts and many times, and you should not take a sip. You can add a small amount of salt to the water, or choose professional sports drinks. Friends who are losing weight can choose sports drinks with low sugar content.

Eating more vegetables in a meal before exercise can store a certain amount of water, and there is no need to add extra water before exercise. You can also bring some juicy fruits to add water and inorganic salts during exercise. A meal after exercise often needs to add enough energy. Some people will have a huge increase in appetite after exercising. At this time, they need to pay attention to control. It is enough to be full. Some people can’t eat after exercising.
