For this reason, people try to spend the days in air-conditioned rooms, cold houses or at the lake to survive the heat. You dread exercise, let alone sport - you like to push these thoughts aside. But sport is so important, on the one hand to stay fit and on the other hand to work out the body and reduce stress. Especially in summer, you often show off your body. The excuse “It's too hot, I sweat just from doing nothing” doesn't apply either. Gyms have air conditioning systems, which keep temperatures comfortable. With our 5 tips, you will not only get fit through the summer, but throughout the year!

Tip 1: Set goals!

No matter what time of year it is, the most important thing is that you set goals and keep them in mind. Why do you want to exercise? Whether it's about losing weight, toning the skin, building muscle or reducing stress — define what's important to you. It's best to write down your goals and develop a plan to achieve them most effectively. There are numerous books or blogs on the Internet that suggest training plans for your goal. It's best to get involved fitness journal (also available as an app for smartphones) or add fixed training days to the calendar. If you set yourself an appointment, you're more likely to pick yourself up and be less likely to postpone it until tomorrow.

Tip 2: Two is better than alone

Look for a training partner: whether you're a partner, friend, colleague or family member. It is best, of course, to be registered at the same gym. Tell yourself about your goals and motivate each other. Set aside 2-3 fixed days a week when you work out together. After all, you don't cancel an appointment just because you don't feel like it right now or it's too hot for you. This makes it easier to overcome your inner bastard because you feel obligated. This tip is also a good opportunity for gyms as well as people working out in gyms. Offer promotions such as “Friends Refer Friends” to bring even more members to your studio.

Tip 4: Entertainment against boredom

We all know it: stupid cardio training isn't exactly exciting. 30 or 40 minutes on the treadmill or elliptical trainer feels like an eternity and you look at the time display every minute to see how much longer you have to hold out. But there is another way: Distract yourself! Watch your favorite series or videos on Youtube, stream music or listen to podcasts. It's best to create a playlist or watch a series that corresponds exactly to the time you want on the treadmill. As a result, time flies by in no time!

Try out what's on offer and find out which courses you enjoy the most. Here, too, we are against tip 1: The courses are always at fixed times.

Take the stairs instead of the lift, or walk or ride the bike instead of the car. In summer, there are also other forms of exercise that don't even cost anything. For example, you can go swimming in the lake, go on a bike ride through the city or take a long walk through the cool forest.
