Summer Exercises: Move, Enjoy and Take Care of Your Body

Summer is the perfect season to get active, enjoy the outdoors, and feel energized. The heat and long days encourage us to move more and take advantage of natural spaces that motivate us to exercise in a fun and healthy way.

At GGcare we know that taking care of your body is an essential part of overall well-being, and today we're sharing ideal exercises to do in summer, regardless of your level or your usual routine.

Why exercise in summer?

Regular exercise improves your cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles and bones, and helps relieve tension and stress. In addition, sunlight in summer contributes to the production of vitamin D, essential for your bones and immune system.

Moving in open spaces also improves your mood and connects your body with nature. Exercises to do in summer

1. Outdoor walks

A daily walk in the park, on the beach, or around your neighborhood is easy and accessible. Try walking briskly for 30-45 minutes to get your body moving and breathe fresh air.

2. Yoga or stretching at sunrise or sunset

Practicing yoga or gentle stretching during the cooler hours of the day helps improve flexibility and posture, and reduces stress. It's also a time to connect with yourself and your breath.

3. Swimming

Swimming is a complete exercise that strengthens all your muscles, improves endurance, and protects your joints. It's also ideal for cooling off while you exercise.

4. Bicycle

Cycling around town or in nature is a fun way to get some cardio and discover new places. Be sure to wear a helmet and obey traffic laws.

5. Outdoor HIIT workouts

If you're looking for something more intense and shorter, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts combine strength and cardio exercises in just a few minutes. You can do them in your garden or a nearby park, using only your body weight.

Tips for exercising safely in summer

• Stay hydrated before, during, and after exercise.
• Avoid the middle of the day (between 11am and 4pm) to prevent heat stroke.
• Wear light, breathable clothing and sun protection.
• Listen to your body and adjust the intensity according to your climate level.
• Complement this with a good rest routine and a balanced diet.
