< 5 Must-Know Tips for Summer Exercise >
1. Shorten or split up your workouts.
Try to set on 30minutes or 1hour workout at max and do it with less intensity or do intervals, especially on humid day. Also, take a 10 minutes rest every 30 minutes. Keep in mind to stop workout immediately when you feel any kinds of faint, dizziness, headache, nausea or vomiting, or paling of the skin.
2. The early morning or evening after sun is best time for workout.

2. The early morning or evening after sun is best time for workout.
Avoid exercising from 11 a.m. to 4p.m, which is the hottest part of day. I recommend you to do exercise from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. before breakfast. Morning exercise is best to increase cardiopulmonary endurance, muscles and lose fat. But people with heart diseases or potential stroke symptoms should avoid morning workout.
The best time for evening exercise is from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. after dinner. Walking or jogging or stretching is recommended. It is especially good for people with diabetes and high blood pressure. But it can lead insomnia so you should wrap up your exercise at least one hour before the bed time.

3. Stay hydrated.
Drink enough water while exercising even when you are not thirsty.
Normally one hour exercise makes people sweat around 0.75~1L, but in summer it is more likely to sweat more than that. If you lose water around 3~5% of body weight, it can cause dehydration and weaken your physical ability and endurance level and maintaining this state of body condition is very dangerous.
It is better to drink cold water or sport drinks (which the sugar level is lower than 10%), than to drink soda or juice. Also, alcohol or caffeine can lead to dehydration so be careful of it.
4. Sunscreen is a must and wearing a hat every time you work out outdoor.
