As I said at the start of the week, this has been a week of separating the hard trainers from the people who will often miss a week like this due to the warm weather.
This has been my all time best week in terms of the number of individuals wanting to work hard. This has been due to a strong start to the year, and regular and fast improvements for all of those people concerned.
The tactics I have used this week is to combine outside and inside workouts. I will spend say 10 to 15 minutes outside, then bring people inside to cool off and do some work in a different environment.
The most important thing is to keep people drinking water, and have them bring the water outside. This makes sure your body’s core temperature is kept more constant, and never gets into dangerous levels. Anytime your body’s core temperature rises too quickly, then your health will be severely compromised, and in extreme cases death for those who workout in extreme temperatures, such as deserts and those which have extreme humidity in the summer such as Miami and hong kong as we shown in the British lions rugby match last Saturday!
The precautions of taking onboard enough water are lifesavers for professional tennis players for instance, who perform great feats in ridiculously humid temperatures. These precautions apply in every single sport now.
If you keep adopting habits that professional athletes treat as commonplace now, then you wont go far wrong and will keep on performing at a high level, even in the most testing of temperatures, and humidity which is often overlooked but always unpleasant to exercise in.
So this week, make sure you cover all bases, adopt a professional attitude and you’re likely to still have great workouts without any ill effects.
