What should you pay attention to when exercising in hot weather?
Replenish fluids before exercising, and you can also observe the color of your urine — darker urine indicates dehydration. Avoid drinking ice-cold water during exercise; opt for lukewarm water instead, and don’t drink it all at once — take small sips multiple times. Since sweating leads to significant loss of electrolytes, it’s even more important to replenish vitamins and minerals during hot-weather workouts, so eat more fruits and vegetables.
Wear clothing with good breathability while exercising. You can take a cool shower before exercising to lower your body temperature.
Try not to use oily sunscreen to avoid clogging pores and hindering perspiration.
In midsummer, early mornings are usually the coolest, and ozone levels in the air are relatively low, while afternoons have the highest temperatures and ozone concentrations, so exercising in the early morning or evening is more suitable.
Overall, avoid excessive physical exertion in high temperatures. If you experience discomfort such as headaches, abdominal pain, or cramps, you should stop exercising immediately and rest in a shaded area. Exercise is meant to improve your health — not put your life at risk.
