Summer is considered as the ideal season for those who want to lose weight by doing workout or exercise. This is because besides body effort by exercise the hot waves during summer both together raise the body temperature. This leads to an increase in the rate of blood flow through the skin, which causes decrease in the supply of blood to the muscles which in turn increases body temperature. Such situation causes more amount of burning of calories favoring in loss of weight. The body gets warms up quickly in this season. Besides this the scorching heat and rising temperature during summer naturally drives the interest of the individual towards liquid diet like drinking of water, fruit juices, coconut water, etc., rather than the regular diet which causes decrease in weight.

Physical exercise should be started in a planned manner. The person should take doctor’s advice before starting of exercise. As the body keeps getting adapted to the surrounding temperature slowly the weights should be increased. One of the common misconception among people is fitness can be maintained by doing exercise for only these 3 months and can take rest for the rest of the year. However one should try to attain maximum benefits in summer. During exercise one should keep drinking water at regular intervals even though if he/she does not feel thirsty. There can be an increase loss of sodium, potassium, chloride because of excessive sweating. The loss of these minerals can be covered by drinking of sports drinks. Coffee and alcohol decreases the water level in the body. Because of this one may get tired soon during exercise. So say Good bye to these drinks. Try to avoid doing exercise in the afternoon and better do it in the early morning or evening hours. If someone wants to do exercise during afternoon hours he/she can do walking in fitness centers, shopping malls, to avoid scorching sun.

If someone faces problems like headache, weakness, giddiness, vomiting, fever, very much increase in the heart beat, etc, then he/she should immediately stop doing exercise right at that moment and should take rest under shadow. If the affected individual did not get back to normal state within 30 minutes then he should immediately consult a doctor.
