It is hot. Sorry to state the obvious but, woof. While plopping on the couch and
basking in the A/C certainly has its appeal, working out in the heat can
seriously boost your fitness. For one, the heat makes you stronger. When you
train in the heat, you sweat. Sweating tells your body to send blood to the
surface of your skin to aid in cooling you down, and that means there is a
decrease in blood volume and oxygen going to your muscles. That sounds like a
bad thing, but over time your body adapts, forcing itself to do more with less
during a workout. Then, when the temperature drops you find yourself measurably
fitter than you were in the summer. But, of course, heat has its downsides.
Working out in extreme summer heat makes everything feel harder. As long as you
take precaution — and follow proper workout guidance — a little sweat now cam
mean a much fitter you later.

3 Tips For Exercising in the Heat

Go hard—but short. Save the mile repeats for a cooler day. High temps are ideal
for distances between 100 and 400 meters — that’s a quarter to full lap around a
standard track. (Don’t have a track or meter markers? Run hard for 20-45
seconds, then walk for equal time to recover.)

Dress wet. If you’re heading out into the heat for a sweat session, give
yourself a head start by soaking your shirt and shorts in cold water, wringing
them out, and putting them on. Looking, the things are going to be drenched in
sweat in another 10 minutes anyway. This way, you’ll give your body temp a
slight dip to get started. Another time-honored tip summer runners swear by:
Store your workout clothes in the freezer overnight.

Do hard things first. Start with your toughest sets. Think: Bavarian split
squats while holding a gallon jug of water in each hand, 8 reps x 2 sets, then
switch to standard squats.
