When Does the Temperature Cross the Line for Outdoor Exercise?

 How Hot Is Too Hot to Exercise Outside?

As fitness enthusiasts, we're always eager to get outdoors and stay active. However, when the scorching heat of summer arrives, it's crucial to consider the safety and well-being of our bodies.

From WaPo "The stakes are high. The consequences of a too-hot workout “range from feeling thirsty to death,” said Clare Minahan, a sports scientist at Griffith University in Australia. But figuring out when to trade that woodsy running path for the old treadmill is not as easy as glancing at a thermometer.

Is there a simple rule I can follow?"

How Hot Is Too Hot to Workout Outside?


For me, it is surprisingly strange that such a question arises. The answer seems so obvious to me.

The rule is very simple: listen to your body and pay attention to your sensations.

There is no particular number of temperatures for working out outside.

The human body is perfect and unparalleled. Your body and your feelings will tell you when you should avoid exercising outdoors.

If you feel even the slightest discomfort outside, without engaging in any exercise, then don't even consider working out.

For highly motivated fitness enthusiasts who persist in sticking to their training regimen despite the heat, intense thirst, heavy breathing, and a racing heart, I urge you not to torture your body.

Only if you are completely comfortable in the heat, and your body has adapted or easily regulates its temperature, should you consider training in such hot weather.

After 30 years of working out experience, including 10 years of competitive bodybuilding, at 43, I can confidently state that your body doesn't care about your fitness or sports performance. The primary goal of the human body is survival, and it excels at it.

Love and cherish your body, and it will reward you with longevity.

However, if you are significantly overweight (e.g., more than 30 kg), you may be able to lose more than 1 kg (2.205 lbs) per week, as the body is

Bodybuilding Body Types: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph

Which Type Do You Belong to? Human genetics determine many of the inherent characteristics that we are born with and cannot be changed later in life. However, through regular training and exercise, it is possible to overcome some of the limitations imposed by our genes. In 1940, William Sheldon introduced three distinct body types in his work "The Varieties of Human Physique", which is still used in medicine, science, and sports today. These three body types are known as ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. However, it is important to note that these body types are generalizations and not everyone will fit neatly into one category, as most people are a combination of these body types, with only some aspects of each present in their overall physique.

The True Story of the Mysterious Case with Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan with Documentary

In the United States, there is still great interest in the case involving Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan. In fact, the interest in the case appears to be increasing rather than decreasing. A book titled "The Flame in the Desert: The True Story of the Mysterious Case of Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan," written by Glenn Puitom, has recently been released and is being sold in bookstores throughout the country. It is worth noting that the author treated the bodybuilding community, as well as Craig and Kelly, with a high degree of respect. When writing the book, he did not base his conclusions on rumors, speculation, or other unverified information. Instead, he relied solely on police reports and analyzed their conclusions and assumptions. It is also worth mentioning that the author has a legal education. Based on the book's sales volumes, it appears to be becoming a bestseller in the United States and in other countries. A quick review of the case. In December 2005, a police patrol
