Beat the heat with right workout gear

The scorching summer heat should be no excuse to skip your workout. From headgear, fabric and even your brassiere, pick the right gear to beat the heat during your fitness regime, say experts.

Here are a few tips:

Let yourself breathe: 

Full coverage doesn’t have to mean sweating it out in a frumpy, uncomfortable top. Breathable tanks or camis featuring wicking material will keep you cool and help you feel the breeze.

Light is right:

Experts recommend you wear lightweight, light-coloured and loose-fitting/ seamless clothing. Also avoid dark colours as dark clothes absorb the sun’s heat. Lightweight, light colours or white reflect the light and heat.

Head start:

Be a cool girl in more ways than one. Look for headbands made of polyester or microfiber that wicks away moisture and keeps your hair in place.

Drink problem:

When you sweat, your body loses not only water, but electrolytes and salt, too. This delicate balance of water and electrolytes is crucial to keep your body functioning properly. So drink plenty of water.
