Beating the Heat: Effective Weight Loss Strategies for Summer

December 17, 2023

One. Mountain Climbing:

Summer mountain climbing has significant weight loss effects. The sun is scorching hot in the city and it's unbearable. Let's go to the suburbs, where the temperature is at least two degrees lower, plus lush vegetation and fresh air, making the mood very pleasant. When climbing mountains in hot weather, physical exertion increases by about 20%-30%. Experts say that the best way to eliminate fat is through "aerobic exercise," and mountain climbing is the best aerobic exercise. Every time you are ready to rest while climbing, test it with a watch: if your heart beats 120 times per minute and can be sustained for 10 minutes, it means that you have achieved the goal of burning fat through exercise.

Two. Swimming:

In summer, there is no sport more economical and beneficial than swimming. It's so hot, and jumping into the water feels great. Data shows that the thermal conductivity coefficient of water is 26 times greater than that of air. If you lose heat in water at the same temperature, it will accelerate the loss of heat by more than 20 times, effectively consuming human heat. Tests have shown that swimming 100 meters in water consumes 100 kilocalories of heat energy, which is equivalent to running 400 meters on land, or riding a bicycle 1000 meters, or ice skating 1500 meters.

"In addition, due to the action of water waves, the skin is constantly rubbed, so that the skin can relax and rest. Therefore, people who swim regularly have smooth and soft skin." Unexpected gains.

Three. Walking:

Friends who are too lazy to move in the hot weather can take a walk. Don't walk along the road, as car exhaust pollution is serious. Go to the park. Find one with water, trees, and affordable ticket prices. I often go to Yuyuantan Park, where all kinds of sports and fitness projects are available, suitable for all kinds of people: sword playing, spear dancing, practicing Tai Chi, and performing Mulan fan dances. On one side there is ethnic dance, on the other side there is ballroom dance. Singing opera on the left, singing songs on the right, participating in any activity is better than sleeping at home.

Other weight loss measures include:

Eat more vegetables and fruits and eat less staple foods and sweets.

However, after saying so much, the most important thing is "perseverance." Ziyi's sister said, "I am grateful that my family sent me to learn dance since I was a child. That kind of high-intensity physical exercise can especially temper a person's willpower." This is also one of the secrets.
