3 Summer Fitness Tips For Seniors

1. Stay Hydrated
Drinking water is one of the most foundational healthy habits. Staying hydrated is especially important in the summertime when temperatures soar. Do not wait until you’re thirsty to drink. You should begin drinking water as soon as you wake up so that your organs can wake up too! Always bring a bottle of water with you and drink a glass or two before heading out.


2. Prepare for the Heat
Apply sunscreen (ideally SPF 30+) half an hour before going outside. Remember, your skin can burn even on cloudy days, so it’s best to apply whenever you plan to go outside.

3. Recover Safely
A healthy post-workout regimen is just as important as your exercise routine itself. As you age, joints and muscles can become stiff. Stretching helps to loosen these muscles, reducing pain and inflammation in the body. Stretching after exercise reduces muscle fatigue and because your muscles are warm, you will benefit from increased blood circulation.


May is Skin Cancer awareness month

The campaign aims to raise awareness of the dangers of unprotected sun exposure and educate the public about the ways to help prevent skin cancer.
