Thrive Global: Creative Ways to Get Moving During the Summer
"Go on a sunrise run
"Combining a workout with the morning sun is a recipe to feel great. Exercising earlier in the day also helps you beat the heat and make it more likely you’ll stick to a regular routine through the summer.”
—Emily Madill, author and creativity coach (ACC), Nanaimo, B.C., Canada
Try outdoor yoga
—Annie Bauer, mindset coach, Asheville, NC
Try water sports as a family
"It is such a great workout and who doesn’t love being in the water when it’s hot out.”
—Kathy Lowrey, human resources specialist, Craig, CO
Take your workout outside
—Amy Feind Reeves, career coach and author, Boston, MA
Catch up with a friend over a walk
“One of my favorite ways to motivate myself to go outdoors is to schedule a weekly or fortnightly walk with a friend. This has multiple benefits. Firstly, I can’t look outside at the weather and decide I don’t want to go as I am committed to meeting someone. Once we meet, we catch up and chat while doing something active and healthy."
—Donna West, coastal facilities manager, Perth, Western Australia
Set a running goal for the fall
“I love to train for races. Currently, I’m training for a half marathon in early September. Races not only motivate me to keep growing and stretching all summer, but it also gives me something to look forward to in the fall."
—Katie Sandoe, entrepreneur and executive director, Lancaster PA
Find small pockets of time to move
“I like to view movement and exercise as a continuous event rather than a once a day happening. As such, I keep active in short bursts throughout the day by taking the dogs for a walk around our neighborhood and doing a few kettlebell swings outside."
—Candice Tomlinson, coach and hypnotherapist, Sydney, Australia"

@comfortableNight4463 Thanks for posting this.
I really enjoyed reading this.
It was quit interesting to read.
Thanks for peeking my interests.
@Happy900 You're welcome. Thanks for reading!
Run? When the temperature is 35 degrees Celsius? No thanks
@considerateMoon9060 I agree. It's daunting. But as this article mentioned, it won't be as hot during the sunrise early in the morning.
It's 32 at sunrise
@considerateMoon9060
I think what @comfortableNight4463 means is that running can really help boost our mental health and to choose a time of day when the sun isn't on it's peak, which can be different depending on the country you live in. Calling someone "dumb" is never okay or warranted, if they have a different opinion or because they shared an awesome and educational post.
@professionalVision2624 Thank you so much! This is exactly what I meant.
I don't care what he meant, I already said what I said, and this post isn't "awesome" at all, even I did better during my practical lessons
@considerateMoon9060 I hadn't realized it would be that hot in your area. Treadmills are always good too!
Did nothing to me, I feel way worse after a workout
Anyway, leave me the hell alone, I wanna be safe here, without all your harassment
@comfortableNight4463
Thank you for this wonderful post! Personally I love running and swimming with my boyfriend, it's a great way to stay fit, healthy and spend quality time together doing activities outside in nature.
@professionalVision2624 These are great! It's wonderful that you're staying healthy and active while having fun at the same time.

Yeah! There is a saying that says: "Do what you love, and love what you do" I try to live by that mantra <3
