As much as we promise to go to the gym during our summer holidays, it’s not always possible. However, there are plenty of exercises you can do anywhere and tips to stay active and workout during the holidays<\/a>, even if you’re not near your usual gym. Check out these tips to stay active during the summer holidays.<\/p>\n

How to stay fit and exercise during the summer holidays<\/p>\n

Remember to drink water and warm up before your workout.
\nDehydration affects performance and exercise and as water is lost through both breathing and sweating. To avoid dehydration and maximise your performance, drink several glasses of water<\/a> over several hours or 1-2 glasses of water about 15 minutes before your workout.<\/p>\n

It is also important that you do a gradual warm-up, which helps a lot in preventing injuries. A good warm-up increases blood flow to the muscles you are about to work, which means better muscle stiffness and therefore less risk of injury. Your warm-up can consist of stretching, walking, running or just regular exercise at a slower pace.<\/p>\n

Have fun with summer games.
\nSummer is the time of year when you usually have more free time, giving you, your family and friends a great opportunity to get outside, enjoy games and exercise together. We leave you with some simple and fun ideas to spend your summer and exercise during the holidays without realising it.<\/p>\n

Play football with your children<\/a> in the garden or in the patio after dinner.
\nDon’t just watch, participate in whatever everyone else is doing: surfing, cycling, hiking, playing padel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coordinate water pistol fights with your kids, it’s a great way to run and it’s fun.<\/p>\n

Outdoor workouts.
\nIf you want to exercise during the summer holidays, it’s best to walk, swim, run or even hire a bike to explore your surroundings. Especially if you spend many hours throughout the year working indoors or spending your free time at home, your holiday is the time to get outside and use exercise as an excuse to do activities outside. Not only will it be good for boosting your vitamin D levels, but it’s a great way to clear your mind and keep working towards the overall well-being of your body.<\/p>\n

If you don’t want to exercise on holiday, try to increase your daily activity levels. There’s no need to find a hotel gym or run on the beach at the crack of dawn, walk as often as you can and build on your daily activities on holiday by walking on the beach or sightseeing on foot.<\/p>\n

Let your environment keep you fit.
\nThe summer holidays you choose will affect your activities: beach holidays are ideal for long walks in the sand, swimming, snorkelling, diving and climbing sand dunes to increase your heart rate. City tours mean you can take many daily steps, visiting the historical sites that interest you most. If you go to the mountains, you can walk or bike, hike trails, visit natural enclaves and burn calories at the same time.
\nMake sure you sightsee as much as possible<\/a>. Not only does this mean you can explore your destination at will, discovering hidden spots outside of the most common areas, but you’ll also increase your activity levels and reduce sedentary lifestyles.<\/p>\n

Stay motivated.
\nBeing fully motivated to train and workout is going to be quite difficult when you know there’s a creamy ice cream waiting for you by the pool. So, to make sure that you dedicate quality time to your workouts, you need to plan one that motivates you, whether it’s lifting weights at the gym, a session of high-intensity cardio (HIIT), low-intensity cardio (LISS), or a mixture of the two.<\/p>\n

Whichever option you choose, it should involve a workout<\/a> or activity that you want to do, even if you have the tempting idea of enjoying that delicious ice cream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
