Happy summer! We hope that everyone is enjoying the sun and keeping active! If you’re finding it difficult to think of things you can do to keep your heart rate up during the long hot days,  a couple of suggestions.

Check out our Top 5 Ways To Sweat In Summer 2013:

1) Swimming! This is why you can never say it’s too hot to workout. There is always a community pool, or a lake, river, or ocean for you to jump in and get the blood flowing. Did you know that you can burn over 600 calories in an hour swimming?

2) Hiking. Take a buddy with you into a cool and shaded trail, or wear a wide-brimmed hat and soak in the sun on a rocky path. Either way, there is sure to be hiking options wherever you live and it’s a great way to relieve stress and reconnect with Nature while shedding the pounds. A can of Energé to get you to the top of the peak might not be a bad idea either!

3) Paddle boating. Didn’t think of paddle boating as exercise? Take one out for an hour and see how your thighs and glutes feel! Not only is paddle boating fun and social (since you have to take a buddy to paddle with), it’s an amazing workout for your lower body.

4) Rollerblading. It’s just like ice-skating without being cold! If you don’t know how to rollerblade, strap on some knee and elbow pads and give it a shot. You can burn up to 800 calories an hour

5) Badminton. This is a cheap and super fun way to spend time with your friends and family in a park or in your backyard, burning up to 550 calories in a hour! Get your rackets, a can of Fuel and watch the birdies fly!
