Exercising in elevated temperatures can place an increased amount of stress on your body. The combination of the air temperature along with exercise itself elevates your body’s core temperature. If your body’s temperature rises too high, you can experience serious health conditions. As your temperature rises, your body sends more blood to circulate through your skin to help cool you. However, when this occurs, less blood is available to your muscles, and your heart rate starts to increase.
On hot weather days, always have a backup plan. If it’s too hot or humid to comfortably walk outdoors, consider taking your workout inside. You can go to a gym and walk on a treadmill, walk around the interior of your office building, take a walk inside the local shopping mall, or even just track and increase your steps by using a pedometer daily.
If the weather gets too hot for you come to the Niles Family Fitness Center(987 Civic Center Dr. Niles Illinois 60714) and walk our beautiful elevated track.
