Active Leeds – Exercising Safely in the Heat
Stay Active, Stay Safe ☀️
With warmer weather expected, we’d like to remind all Active Leeds customers to take extra care when exercising in the heat.
To help you stay safe and enjoy your activity, please follow these simple precautions:
✅ Stay hydrated – Drink water before, during and after exercise. Don’t wait until you feel thirsty, as this can be an early sign of dehydration.
✅ Exercise at cooler times of the day – Where possible, choose early morning or evening sessions and avoid the hottest part of the day.
✅ Reduce intensity if needed – High temperatures place additional stress on the body. Slow down, take regular breaks and listen to your body. Consider reducing the duration of your exercise session.
✅ Wear suitable clothing – Lightweight, loose-fitting clothing can help keep you cool and comfortable.
✅ Watch for signs of heat-related illness – Dizziness, headache, unusual fatigue, nausea, muscle cramps or excessive sweating can be signs of heat exhaustion. Stop exercising, move to a cool area and seek assistance if symptoms persist.
✅ Take extra care if you have a health condition – Older adults, people with underlying health conditions and those taking certain medications may be more vulnerable to the effects of heat.
Your wellbeing is our priority. If you feel unwell at any point while exercising, please stop and speak to a member of the Active Leeds team.
Stay safe, stay hydrated and enjoy your activity. 💙
