The month is July: flowers are in full bloom, drinks are flowing on patios, and we’re ready to embrace the sunny outdoors for exercise and activity. But while the extra daylight hours and sunshine are great for getting some fresh air, when it comes to getting our summertime fitness on, sometimes it’s just too hot to safely (and comfortably) exercise outside.
Just because the heat is rising doesn’t mean you should put your workout on the back burner. You can beat the summer heat and still get an awesome workout by moving indoors. Fitness World, a B.C.-based gym with more than 17 locations across the Lower Mainland, is here to help British Columbians find refuge from the blistering heat with its all-new Beat The Heat summer check-in challenge.
Between July 1, 2023 and August 31, 2023, join Fitness World’s Beat the Heat Check-in Challenge for a chance to win up to $5,000 cash! To help you succeed in the challenge, here are five tips to ensure the only thing you’re burning this summer are calories! —Vita Daily
Mellow out: Opt in for some calm, relaxing Yoga & Stretch fitness classes at all Fitness World locations to help wind down at the end of the day. If yoga isn’t your thing, try out one of Fitness World’s high-tech recovery tools, like Hydromassage or Normatec 2.0, to help ease tension and promote deep relaxation post-workout.
Try out an air-conditioned group fitness class: Whether it’s Pilates, cardio, HIIT, strength training, or yoga, Fitness World’s extensive offering of group fitness classes provides engaging workouts for new gym goers and seasoned athletes alike. These are great for mastering a new fitness style or reinvigorating a fitness routine. Best of all, all Fitness World locations are air-conditioned.
Cool off and cool down: Working out in the heat can be tough on your body. While it may be tempting to work out outside, on those extreme heat days, it is advisable to opt for an air-conditioned gym. All Fitness World locations are air-conditioned, ensuring a more comfortable exercise environment. Remember, balance is key, so consider alternating between indoor and outdoor workouts.
Hydration is key: Hydration becomes even more important during the summer season. It is crucial to drink more water to ensure your body stays properly hydrated and replenish your electrolytes. Neglecting hydration can impair performance but also affects overall health.
Wear material that will help your body breathe: Wear sweat-wicking athletic clothing that allows your skin to perspire and cool in comfort, like Fitness World’s all-new workout apparel, which is now available at select club locations ranging from sizes S-XXL.
