The sun is shining, the temperatures are rising and you want to stay fit without overheating? Here are some useful tips on how to stay active in hot weather:

• Early risers or night owls: Move your training to the cooler hours of the day, such as early morning or late evening. This way you avoid the strongest sunlight and the heat of midday.
  

• Indoor workouts: If it's too hot outside, look for indoor workouts. Yoga, Pilates, dancing or fitness classes at the gym are good alternatives.
  

• Water sports: Take the opportunity to exercise in the cool water. Swimming, water aerobics or stand-up paddling are not only refreshing, but also train the entire body.
  

• Light intensity: Adapt the intensity of your workouts to the heat. Choose lower intensity activities so as not to overtax your body. Walks in nature or relaxed cycling are good options.
  

• Listen to your body: Pay attention to your body's signals. If you feel uncomfortable or notice signs of overheating, stop exercising and move to a cooler place.

With these tips, you can stay active in the summer heat and improve your health without overexposure to the sun.

Please note that it is important to consider individual needs and physical conditions. If you have health concerns or are unsure, consult a health professional before starting a new exercise programme or dietary change.
