GET READY FOR SUMMER - BY BEN HUTTON<br />
So the sun has finally come out after a<br />
long, wet and miserable winter and I have<br />
noticed an increasing number of people<br />
out running and cycling.<br />
Evenings are getting lighter, our moods are improving<br />
and we all want to catch a little bit of sun, so now is<br />
the perfect time to get active outdoors!<br />
<strong>May</strong> is ‘National Walking Month’, and if you live a<br />
relatively sedentary life, walking is the perfect place<br />
to start. You could perhaps walk to work, or if that’s<br />
not an option, you could park a little further away<br />
than normal. You could take the stairs rather than the<br />
escalators, or you could walk your dog a little more.<br />
Studies have proved two things, 1. Exercise is improves<br />
our mood through release of ‘feel good’ endorphins,<br />
and obviously our health for a number of reasons and<br />
2. Controlled sun exposure improves our mood, as<br />
well as our health. So why not combine the two?<br />
Personally I have just signed up to join a Canicross<br />
club, which is a running club for owners and their four<br />
legged friends! I’m using this to kick-start my running<br />
season, as well as meet new people and socialise my<br />
dog a little more.<br />
There are a number of social clubs you could get<br />
involved with over summer, like boot camps, village<br />
cycle clubs and park runs. Park runs are a great way to<br />
get out in a welcoming environment and run or walk<br />
at your own pace with a friendly group of locals!<br />
A little added bonus, is you’ll burn more calories when<br />
it’s hot, but remember to stay hydrated and always<br />
listen to your body, if you feel like it’s too much then<br />
take a rest, it is easy to over work during summer.<br />
Move More. Stay Hydrated. Have Fun.<br />
