Don’t hide from Fitness this summer - it's literally the best time of year to conquer a new workout routine!
After all, summer days offer warmer weather, more daylight and a greater chance that you can book time with a workout buddy.
Seasonal effects are driven by outdoor activity. The weather is warmer and the days are longer, making activity outdoors more enjoyable and safer. Seeing others being active outside is also a motivator.
Outdoor activity leads to enhanced feelings of energy and diminished fatigue, anxiety, anger and sadness compared to similar activity conducted indoors.
Since there is more daylight in the summer, it might be easier to schedule time to exercise with a workout partner. Also, some people tend to have more flexible schedules in the summer months.
Numerous studies show that having the social support of a significant other or friend is associated with better maintaining a workout routine, exerting yourself more during the workout and feeling calmer.
Being physically active with friends and family is motivating and fun. Regular exercise that is enjoyable and built into your daily routine will have lasting power.
