Do you also find that, after the summer holidays, training at your club becomes more of a struggle? If so, you’re not alone. During the summer break, training sessions at your club are often cancelled, meaning you get less exercise. So, after the summer holidays, you might notice that you get tired more quickly when running laps or that you get out of breath more easily during training. It’s really frustrating, which is why we’ve put together some tips especially for you on how to stay fit over the summer, so that you can hit the ground running again with your sports club after the summer holidays.
1. Look for a summer sport
Summer break is a perfect time to take up a new active hobby. For example, you can take up a new sport that you can do every summer. This keeps you moving and engaged in your own personal development. Think of supping, surfing, wakeboarding or hiking.
2. Endurance sports
To keep your fitness levels high, endurance sports are very good to do. Endurance sports are sports where you are in motion for long periods of time. You can do this with several people, but of course you can also start by yourself. For instance, you can go running or cycling. Make sure you run in the right way to avoid injuries. Physiotherapists can help you with this, so you can be as fit as possible this summer. Should you find it too hot for running or cycling, you can always go swimming too.
3. Walking
Another way to stay fit during the summer break is to go for lots of walks. The intensity is a bit lower, but it’s certainly a good way to maintain your fitness. Walking is also something you need to practise if you want to cover long distances. If you’re getting a bit tired of walking round your own neighbourhood all the time, you could also go sightseeing in different towns, walk along the beach or through the dunes. Just make sure you wear good shoes to prevent any injuries.
Tip
Summer is very hot and you will sweat a lot while exercising. So remember to drink enough water while exercising to avoid dehydration. Have fun and good luck!
4. Personal training (Physio Fitness)
Are you finding it hard to get started, or are you unsure how to begin during the summer break? If so, you can also book personal training with us. With personal training, we’ll draw up a personalised programme to help you achieve your individual goals. These might include losing weight, improving your fitness or building muscle mass. We’ll also look at how you perform the exercises to prevent any injuries, so that you can move without pain.
5. Group classes
