Summer and Cardiovascular
Exercise
Popular Fitness Blog
With summer in full swing,
now is the best time to enjoy cardiovascular exercise from cycling to rollerblading,
be it at a leisurely or more active pace. Summer gives you a chance to
spend more time outside and enable you to lose those extra pounds that
have accumulated over the winter months without you really thinking about
them. Most people are able to naturally lose weight during the summer months
partly due to the heat, but also due to the fact that they are more active.
If you're fortunate to live
by a big body of water such as a lake or ocean, the cooler breezes, sights
and sounds of summer make your exercise experience a lot more enjoyable.
Some precautions you may
want to take when exercising during the hot summer months. Depending on
your physical condition you may want to avoid exercising during the 11am
to 2pm time frame. Make sure that you drink plenty of fluids and avoid
areas of high pollution. Also, it's a good idea to still go to the gym
for your weight training workouts at least once a week but preferably a
couple times a week.
