Hydration, the essential fuel for your summer performances
With or without training, the body loses a lot more water during the summer seasons. The sun, heat and sweating from training can lead to dehydration. It is therefore essential to maintain good hydration when temperatures start to rise.
A lack of hydration leads to loss of performance and increases the risk of injury. The key therefore lies in regular hydration throughout the day.
It is recommended to drink at least 2 liters of water per day, or even more if you practice intense sporting activity.
Carry a bottle of water with you and drink regularly, even if you don't necessarily feel thirsty. If you're planning an extended training session, it may be a good idea to opt for isotonic drinks, which will help you replenish the electrolytes lost during physical exertion.
In addition, it is important to adapt your training times to avoid the hottest hours of the day. Prefer mornings or evenings, when the temperatures are milder and the UV index lower.
The essential food supplements to carry in your summer sports bag
In addition to adequate hydration, certain dietary supplements are valuable in supporting performance and optimizing recovery.
The capsules are easy to carry and convenient to meet your body's needs after an intense workout. Among proteins, the small formats of whey are suitable for all purposes and can easily be slipped into the bag. Quickly assimilated, native whey participates in protein synthesis and helps muscle recovery.
Branched-chain amino acids ( BCAAs ) are also valuable allies during the summer. They fight against muscle catabolism, promote recovery and improve endurance during intensive training sessions. BCAAs are particularly recommended if you train on an empty stomach or if your sessions are prolonged.
Night Recovery Blend and Diet Protein Blend are post-workouts containing multiple nutrients. They help optimize recovery and support fat loss goals in particular.
Finally, multivitamins and multiminerals can fill any nutritional gaps and boost your immune system. In order to save space, Nutrimuscle has imagined a product that meets the body's needs, combining vitamins and minerals for optimal performance: Men's &women's immune health.
From July 06 to August 10, 2023, Nutrimuscle offers you a selection of products in a special summer format at a reduced price. This is an opportunity to stock up on food supplements before leaving!
How to train without a gym nearby
It's very tempting to dodge training when you go on vacation. The first excuse being that there is no gym nearby. But that doesn't mean we can't train for a few weeks.
Summer offers a multitude of outdoor sports activities that allow you to stay active while having fun. Swimming is a well-rounded exercise that works every muscle in the body and helps keep you cool on hot days. Beach volleyball builds agility, endurance and team spirit. It's also a good way to meet people and build friendships. Hiking and cycling are a good way to discover beautiful landscapes while working on your endurance and exercising your leg muscles. Finally, water sports such as paddleboarding, kayaking, surfing or windsurfing call on all the muscles and allow you to enjoy the summer setting.
Whatever outdoor activity you choose, it is important to consider your physical condition and warm up properly before each session. Listen to your body, adapt the intensity of the activity to your abilities and remember to protect yourself from the sun by using sunscreen and wearing a hat.
