Staying active has countless benefits for your health, boosting your mood and lowering the risk for chronic diseases, obesity, and even premature death. Physical activity can also positively affect your blood sugar; luckily, warmer weather can open the door to many fun outdoor activities.
Here are a few summer activity ideas to keep you moving and safe while doing so.
👉Find an Activity you Love
Nice weather means there are so many options for staying active. Activities like swimming, biking, hiking, gardening, surfing, rowing, running, volleyball, and yoga are great ways to add more physical activity to your routine and increase your heart rate.
👉Exercise Outside of Peak Sun Hours
Keeping up with your exercise routine during the warmer months is excellent, but if you live in an extremely hot or humid climate, aim to get your run, bike ride, or hike done at a cooler time of day.
The health advantages of morning and evening exercise can vary depending on the individual. In the summer, avoiding hotter temperatures is a good way to avoid putting excess stress on your body.
👉Get the Whole Family Involved
Exercise can sometimes feel like a chore, but summer is a great time to bring the family together and stay active.
Whether you’re playing volleyball on the beach, going for a hike together, or jumping in your local swimming pool, there are many opportunities to spend time with loved ones while getting some exercise.
