DICAS PARA TREINAR COM CALOR

29 May 2021

Did you know that during training our body temperature rises to 38 degrees?
Did you know that this increase causes dehydration?
So, we have to take into account if the body temperature rises above this value, because we run serious health risks if that happens.
It is in this sense that we have gathered some advice here so that you do not lose focus and you can train on hot days with maximum safety.

Chooses to train in hours of lower heat

The hours of a lot of sun and a lot of heat should generally and in any context, be avoided by those who train outdoors. The lower the temperature, the less you will suffer from overheating and the better your performance will be. Therefore, we recommend that you do your training in the morning or in the late afternoon / early evening.

Protected, always!

Not only should you use sunscreen when training in the sun, but it is also recommended that you wear a hat and sunglasses. In this way, you are protected and do not overheat your body or dehydrate too quickly.
When you include running in your workout, avoid doing it during peak heat hours.

Avoid dark and warm clothing

Wear light, cool clothing that allows you to sweat freely and to keep you cool.
Don't be put off by the myth that warm clothing helps you lose weight. What happens is that you will only lose water, which you will replace at the end of the training.

Mandatory to moisturize

Hydration is imperative when training with heat. Your body will need to replace not only the fluids, but also the minerals you lose during sweating. Therefore, you should even use water and isotonic drinks.
You can also use vegetables and fruits rich in water to hydrate yourself, such as cucumber, watermelon and melon.

Light feeding

On hot days, it is important to take into account the type of food you should eat. Opt for light preparations such as salads, wraps, white meats or grilled fish.
When you eat heavy meals, your energy is used to digest your meal.

Gradually reduces body temperature
When we finish an outdoor workout on hot days, the desire to take a cold shower is the first thing that crosses our mind. However, this situation is the direct passport to a major thermal shock. So we call on the importance of letting the body cool down.

Showing excellent fitness in the summer is what we all dream of. Therefore, it becomes even more motivating to train at this time of the year. However, do not forget that with heat, there is little care. Protect yourself, hydrate yourself, eat well and train consciously!

Good training and be Fit (ben)!
