An Active Summer #HealthHour no. 4

I’m so happy I get to connect with so nice and warm-hearted people through this chat. Makes Mondays so much better!

If you’re new to #HealthHour it’s a Twitter chat about living a healthy lifestyle with a focus on physical and mental well-being rather than weight loss and restriction. It’s at Mondays 8 PM (UK TIME), usually hosted by me, @Annesmiless, and a great way to make new friends who just gets you!

The topic for this chat was

An active summer

The following will be a recap of some of the answers in case you missed the that or don’t have a Twitter. You are very welcome to leave your answers in the comments. Otherwise, I hope you can learn something from the other guys’ answers! 🙂

Q1.

Are you more or less active in the summer? Why?

 

@annesmiless A1 definitely more – there’s something about the longer days and sunshine that just makes me want to get on it! #HealthHour

@annesmiless A1 more. It’s less cold. It’s less rainy/snowy. (And I can’t hide in oversized sweaters) #HealthHour

@annesmiless I don’t tend to change it up much I’m not much of a runner or cyclist so the weather doesn’t make any difference #healthhour

@annesmiless kickboxing!!! 🙂

@annesmiless A2 I wanna go to a high wire park or whatever they’re called, running, swimming and I’d also love to do a hike #HealthHour

Q3.

Any vacation plans this summer? And if so, will you be working out there?

 

@annesmiless I went to Finland and Russia a few weeks ago. Didn’t take my gym stuff with me but we walked EVERYWHERE. #HealthHour

@annesmiless I’m going to the Outer Banks, North Carolina and my bf’s brother wants us to do a drop in at the local Crossfit gym. But idk..

Q4.

What’s your best tip for working out in the heat? #HealthHour

 

@annesmiless A4 Drink water all day. Take a shower after the workout and don’t overwork! #HealthHour

— Sassy (@cupventure) 27 June 2016

 

@annesmiless Water, water, water. Don’t let yourself get dehydrated. #HealthHour

— Victoria Wilson (@RetroSnowflake) 27 June 2016

 

@annesmiless H 2 O 💧 Make sure you arrive well hydrated & keep taking on water whilst you workout #healthhour

— Emma | HarmonyBlaze (@HarmonyBlaze_UK) 27 June 2016

 

Don’t do it when the sun/heat is at it’s peak & stay hydrated! #healthhour https://t.co/pBvXthAEGk
