The motivation for not quitting in the summer
Many consider this type of reasoning: “I resume in September, it is so hot and I sweat anyway “or” I go to the sea and I move “. Very wrong. For two fundamental reasons. The first: we only think about weight in a totally “calorie-centric” perspective e you don’t think about joints or muscles, the nervous system, mood, internal fluids. The second: it is not considered that shooting could be really difficult or slow and that the goals reached until spring are likely to be totally or almost totally useless. These reasons they are sufficient to consider the pause reasoning as fallacious and counterproductive.
We must continue to train and, indeed, vary the cards and objectives taking into account the fact that temperatures rise, fatigue could be felt. The heat affects digestion, global energy, determination and the desire to carry on training. The main motivation for not quitting? If you love each other, you think of each season as a a change that brings others, both at the body level and at the mental, emotional but also spiritual level. The “restart in September” has negative implications on all levels of the person and suggests a way of living our time that actually suspends the body, makes us experience training as something extraneous to well-being, something that “we must do” .
5 tips to carry out your training at best
Let’s see together 5 practical tips to make training in the summer really fruitful:
Hydration
Very important maintain some hydration all day long. You can leave a large glass bowl in which to dip chopped cucumbers, lemon, mint leaves and some popsicles. Remember to do not drink excessively cold water in order not to give problems to the digestive system and the heart. Sprinkle cold water on your wrists and head from time to time, especially if you suffer from low blood pressure. Also cool your ankles if you tend to retain liquids.
Dehydration entails lack of concentration, exhaustion, nervousness and many other factors. Remember that when we feel thirst, the body has been suffering from it from much earlier, so the ideal would be to always stay hydrated, all day and as the first action in the morning.
Think about the details
The summer season means blazing sun, aggressive mosquitoes and tools that need to be sanitized because of the copious sweat. It also means think well about the workout and avoid putting yourself right where we know there is not even a trace of shadow left. Clothing should also be well thought out: le shoes must be chosen wisely to avoid blisters, sprains and trauma. Try to prefer light colors and garments in breathable fabric.
Take care of the skin
Be careful not to expose yourself to the sun for too long; often in the summer one makes the mistake of thinking that training does not count as sun exposure or we forget the time that passes while we are focused on the execution of the exercises. Always remember to put a protection suitable for your skin and after training and after a shower, spread a nice after-sun moisturizer all over your body.
Reintegrate
With sweat so many vitamins and salts go away and there is a risk of a potential hydro-saline decompensation. The energy cost of muscle contraction and the consequences of vasodilation require constant reintegration. If you engage in sports that require explosive energy you will need to supplement magnesium, if it comes to disciplines of long duration and expenditure, a multisaline supplement.
Remember that foods such as vinegar and honey they are real natural tonic, as well as agave syrup and lemon. It is also a good idea to use specific sodium, potassium and taurine supplements. Reintegrating cramps are avoided, cardiac arrhythmias, fatigue, oxidative stress is fought and the efficiency of the whole organism is stimulated. Bananas, strawberries and kiwi are other formidable allies to supply us with the important lost substances.
Dialogue between internal and external temperature
Have you ever wondered why do you sweat? To balance the internal heat. Our body does not tolerate changes in temperature internal too high and activates a complex thermoregulation system. The capillaries dilate and as they fill with blood they disperse the heat on the surface due to radiation, convection and conduction (the ways in which heat is propagated). To adjust the internal temperature then the body secretes sweat (made of water and minerals) thanks to the work of specific exocrine glands. In these ways the heat escapes from the body. Add to this the warm temperatures outside. You should try to manage this heat through too jets of hot / cold water on the body, for example when taking a shower.
