​Training in the heat

Finding it hard to train with the weather so warm? Here's a few key tips for training in the heat, whether indoors or outdoors!

1. Try to train earlier or later in the day
Try to avoid the hottest part of the day when training if possible.If you train earlier or later in the day, then stick to your normal intensity. However, if you have to train in the hottest part of the day then stick to a lower intensity to compensate for the heat.

2. Keep the fluids coming
This is crucial as when it's warm we sweat more and in turn we require extra hydration. Try adding a pinch or two of salt to your water to improve hydration even further!

3. Take longer rests between sets
Exercise is a big stressor. The extra heat will only exaggerate this and you will find your recovery takes a bit longer than usual.

4. Try and avoid standing between sets or sitting down too much. Ideally we want to keep moving throughout the workout and in between sets!
