Fitness trainer Melissa Levy does less running outside these days. She says high temperatures can bring on exhaustion and dehydration and a little air-conditioning is a safer bet.
Taking your workout inside also cuts your chances of skin cancer because you`re protected from the sun`s harmful rays.
But how do you make the adjustment?
Levy says hitting the treadmill or stair stepper isn't quite the same as exercising outdoors.
“It`s definitely harder to workout outside there`s uneven ground, you`re gonna hit hills,” she said.
But you can get the same or even better health benefits by doing a little tweaking.
“You`re working 100 percent, giving it your all then back off,” she said. “Maybe a jog about 1 minute then take it back up then bring it back down, you`re going to repeat doing that about 30 minutes.”
Of course, keep up healthy eating habits like eating lots of fruits and vegetables and drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated.
