    I don't go to the gym, but home work outs have definitely taken a back seat on hot days!

    Lifting isn't so bad, anything requiring actual movement - oohya beauty.

    I resemble a tomato halfway through!

    I went to the gym to do an hour of cardio the other day but nearly passed out after 40 mins - I was way redder & sweatier than I normally am when I train!

    That said though, I LOVE the heat and could definitely get used to living in this kind've climate!!

    I run outside and do weights at home, what I did notice last night when it was a bit cooler was that my pace was quite a bit faster, so running in the heat has done some good. I noticed similar a few years back in the gulf, when I got back to UK I was much faster than I had been.

    The good weather is nice for weight training and yoga in the back garden though

    My main exercise is walking so with the nice weather I've been doing it more! So worked out quite well for me!
  • Far too tempting to have a nice ice cream or sit out in the sun with a cold beer. Especially at weekends when its "shall we have a BBQ?".
  • My main exercise is walking too, and been trying to get out as early morning as possible, or sticking to the shaded places!
