had a glimpse of glorious weather over the Easter weekend, I don t know with regards to’concerning’with respect to you lot but it s totally got me claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate ing with regards to’concerning’with respect to the summer and it s inspired me to start claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate ing with regards to’concerning’with respect to the different ways we can acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure active. Because despite the weather in the UK being utterly unpredictable, the summer does at least mean longer days and warmer temperatures and that really helps put us in better moods and makes us more motivated to exercise outdoors. Which is great news not just in/with regard to’concerning’regarding our bodies, but also in/with regard to’concerning’regarding our mental health, as exercising outdoors gives us a healthy boost of those lovely feel rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent endorphins and if the sun s out it helps top our vitamin D levels up too.
With all that in mind, let s take a look at some of the sports and activities you can enjoy over the summer to help keep you fit and healthy all summer long.
The novelist Harry Leon Wilson notable’renowned’distinguished ly said this with regards to’concerning’with respect to golf:
“This new game of golf that the summer folks play seems to possess’own’nurse too much cover’budge ing in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent game and just abundant’ample’plentiful game to spoil a rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent cover’budge .”
And yes, golf has somehow acquired this fuddy duddy reputation in/with regard to’concerning’regarding being a sport that s reserved in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the old and the retired. Yet golf is actually a great way to stay fit and healthy over the summer and is more of a workout than you might first realise. The average golfer can cover’budge between four to eight miles over an 18 hole course. Add into that the upper body workout and indeed the core workout from swinging a golf club and you re looking at an all over body workout.
Most clubs work on a membership basis, so if you re just starting out it s advisable to either look around in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a free trial somewhere or to reserve a few sessions at the driving range so you can find out if golf is the sport in/with regard to’concerning’regarding you. And there s no need to invest in a set of clubs just yet as most places will hire these out to you, as well as golf balls and tees if you need them. All you really need to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure started is some comin/with regard to’concerning’regarding table clothing and trainers, a glove so that your hand doesn t end up acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure ting blistered, and a sun hat and shades to conserve’preserve you from the sun. Of course, once you ve mastered the fundamental s and you re ready to join a club you ll no doubt want to look the part, which means kitting yourself out in some Puma Golf detoken er wear to reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue you really do know your birdie from your bogey!
Surfing
Surfing just screams summer doesn t it? It s the sexy sport, the one you wish you could do, the one you ve always wanted to learn, but fear of ending up looking more beached whale than bronzed beach bum surfer dude is abundant’ample’plentiful to put you off even trying. But don t let that stop you, e grossly one s got to start somewhere and now is the time!
There are lots of great surfing spots around the UK and many of these will possess’own’nurse surf clubs that offer lessons to beginners to help multiply assurance in the water and to learn the fundamental s of standing on a board. Don t be delay’postpone by the fact that at first you will probably be spending a lot of your time balancing and holding position on a board on the beach rather than rushing straight down to the waters edge. Surfing involves a great deal of core strength and balance and so mastering the fundamental s is essential in/with regard to’concerning’regarding fast progression later on.
If you re apprehensive with regards to’concerning’with respect to trying it on your own why not make it a family thing or invite a group of friends to go with you. It s a fantastic activity to reserve up when you go on holiday and if the weather is super scorchio what better way to cool off than taking a dip in the ocean and exercising simultaneous’synchronous .
Paddleboarding
Paddleboarding has become the in thing to try and classes possess’own’nurse cropped up all over the country. It fundamental ally involves a board grossly much like a surfboard but rather than riding the waves you paddle along on it.
There are three different ways to paddleboard:
By lying stomach facing down on the board and using your hands to paddle yourself along.
By kneeling on the board and using a paddle.
And then there is the more advance stand up paddle boarding which, as the name suggests, involves standing on the board and using a long paddle to move it across the water.
Stand up paddleboarding, or SUP as it has become more commmerely’barely known, is the most tough’challenging’demanding’awkward to learn but has also become the most popular option of the three. This is no doubt because it offers more workout potential and is especially rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the core, something all of us strive to enhance’promote’polish up upon.
Like surfing, it too has this rather sexy image attached to it, and is a fab way to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure fit in the summer while enjoying spending time in the water and catching a tan simultaneous’synchronous .
Running
OK so I m a bit biased with this one being a runner myself, but trust me there s nothing better than heading out in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a run in the summertime. Glorious countryside, the warmth of the sun on your back, a tender breeze helping to cool you down, and sweat. Because yes that s one thing you can t escape when you run in the summer, sweat.
However to help beat the sweat, as well as making things mildly’faintly easier and to help make the undergo that much more pleasant I intense’fierce’exquisite ly suggest you take merit’virtue’upside of the light mornings and evenings by either heading out early doors (my personal preference because there s usually less individual around and watching the sun come up is the perfect embark on the day) or ending the day on a high when the temperatures possess’own’nurse cooled down.
If you don t fancy heading out on your own you could always join a running group, which from my own undergo usually involves a post run discussion in a pub garden somewhere afterwards come on there s got to be some perks to this running lark! Or if you need some wind down alone time after a lay stress on’emphasize’highlight ful day at work, donning your trainers and running to your fave tunes is the perfect activity.
There are lots of different sports and activities you can try this summer and these are just a few of them. Let us know how you prefer to work out when it acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s hot and what sports you plan on trying out in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the first time.
