The Best In Summer Workout Routines
When summer hits, most people want to take advantage of the weather by staying outside as long as possible. Longer days and shorter nights allow you to soak up the sun and enjoy the warmth more than you would during any other season.
Summer can also provide some motivation as you start to reveal more and more of your body. Staying slim can become a priority, but luckily summer makes working out feasible. If you’re looking to switch things up this summer, head outside for some of these summer workout routines.
Run, Jog, or Hike
Exercising outdoors can be difficult during the winter, but there’s no excuse for not taking advantage of the outdoors when the weather warms up. The summer is the perfect time to go for a morning jog at Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park or hike on the many trails of the Woodfield Reservation.
Not only are you burning serious calories when you work out outside, but also you’re able to appreciate all that nature has to offer.
When treadmills start to become dull, an outdoor run can make all the difference.
Swim and Cycle
Going for a light jog isn’t for everyone, though, especially if you have joint problems. Swimming and cycling are excellent alternatives to aerobic exercise, and they’re easy to take part in during the summer.
The bike paths throughout Turning Basin Park make for a beautiful scenic route while the Delaware and Raritan Canal provides plenty of depth for kayaking. If you’re looking for a cool place to go for a swim, Princeton’s Community Park Pool is where you need to be this summer.
What If It’s too Hot Out?
Not every day in summer will be pleasant. As temperatures and humidity rise, so too will the amount of risk you take as you step outside during the day. It’s important to stay hydrated and use sun protection when you’re outside for an extended period, and it’s also crucial to know your limits when it gets too hot.
If you find that you still want to exercise on a blistering day, indoor gyms are your best option. Facilities like Orangetheory Fitness and CrossFit Ex Novo offer classes that keep your body moving and the calories burning.
For many people, it’s beneficial to have a gym membership even if you don’t use it every day. Just having the option to workout indoors will make your exercise routine less stressful and keep you in shape on the summer’s hottest days.
