Do you train outdoors? Here’s how to support your body in summer

Summer&Physical Activity – why It’s worth exercising outdoors

Outdoor training is a great way to boost your fitness and mood — especially in summer, when sunshine and longer days naturally energize you. Whether you run, cycle, lift weights, or just walk your dog, your body benefits from:

• More vitamin D,
• Better oxygenation,
• Reduced stress and improved mood,
• Increased calorie burn (especially in higher temperatures).

But beware — the sun and heat can also be tough on the body. That’s why knowing how to support yourself in summer is key.

How heat affects performance&recovery

When you exercise in high temperatures, your body faces several challenges at once:

• Increased loss of water and electrolytes through sweat,
• Reduced physical performance,
• Electrolyte imbalance,
• Faster fatigue and slower recovery.

This makes proper hydration, mineral intake, and supplementation before and after training especially important in summer.

Key supplements for outdoor training

Electrolytes&Minerals

When you sweat heavily, you lose sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. A deficiency in these can cause:

• Muscle cramps,
• Dizziness,
• A drop in performance and mood.

Ready-made electrolyte blends — in powder, capsule, or isotonic form — are a smart choice. Use them before and after training, especially on hot days.

BCAA&EAA

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and essential amino acids (EAAs) help:

• Protect muscles from breakdown,
• Speed up recovery,
• Reduce fatigue during training.

They’re a great option to sip on during cardio or endurance workouts, especially outdoors.

Vitamins&Adaptogens

In summer, we’re more active but also more prone to heat stress and fatigue. That’s why you should include:

• A complete multivitamin and mineral complex to fill nutritional gaps,
• Adaptogens (like ashwagandha or rhodiola) to boost stress resilience, increase energy, and improve focus.

These supplements support both body and mind — crucial when living a fast-paced life.
