During summer workouts, one should choose moderate to low-intensity exercises, especially endurance activities like walking, jogging, and gymnastics. On one hand, this helps improve fat metabolism, while on the other hand, it does not increase appetite. However, over-exercising with the belief that sweating more in summer leads to rapid weight loss is misguided. It’s important to recognize that everything has its limits; if you’re overly hasty, it will only lead to losses rather than gains.
Weight loss exercise 1: Swimming
Swimming is undoubtedly a seasonal weight loss exercise for summer. The thermal conductivity coefficient of water is 26 times greater than that of air, and in water at the same temperature, heat loss is more than 20 times faster than in air, effectively burning calories. Swimming 100 meters in water burns 100 kilocalories, equivalent to running 400 meters on land, cycling 1000 meters, or ice skating 1500 meters. Additionally, the action of water waves constantly rubs against the skin, allowing it to relax and rejuvenate. Consequently, those who swim regularly often have smooth and soft skin. (Here, those who care about beauty should pay attention to sun protection; swimming indoors can better resist UV damage.)
