Move Smarter in the Heat:

Stay active safely this summer with MAKE Wellness tips. Learn 4 ways to move smarter in the heat while maintaining energy, hydration, and overall wellness.

Summer movement hits different. More sunshine. More sweat.
And if you’re not careful - more burnout.

Here’s the thing: heat puts extra stress on your body. Your heart works harder. You lose more fluids. And your muscles fatigue faster, even if your workout doesn’t feel harder.

That doesn’t mean you should slow down. It just means you’ve got to be smarter about how you move, recover, and hydrate.

Here’s how to keep your body moving - and actually feel good doing it:

1. Get ahead of the sun.

Heat equals strain. When temps climb, your body has to work harder to cool itself - and that means less energy for performance.

Try this instead: early morning walks, sunrise strength sessions, or post-dinner movement. Avoiding peak heat (10am–4pm) protects your energy and reduces unnecessary fatigue.

2. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty.

In the heat, you sweat more - and lose electrolytes faster. Waiting until you’re thirsty means your body’s already behind.

HYDRATED is made for this. It’s not just water...it’s electrolytes, glycine, and coconut water powder that help your body absorb and use the fluids you drink. Faster, more efficiently. And it tastes like summer.

3. Recover like it’s part of the plan.

Because it is. In warm temps, your body takes longer to bounce back. You’re losing more minerals. Your muscles are under more heat stress.

FIT supports your recovery with clinically studied peptides that help reduce muscle fatigue, protect strength, and support performance over time. Bonus: it helps you stay consistent when motivation dips.

4. Know when to pull back.

This isn’t about quitting. It’s about listening. If your legs feel like concrete or your head’s spinning, that’s not weakness- it’s your body asking for support. Take the rest day. Swap your run for a walk. Movement doesn’t have to wreck you to be effective.

Move Smarter in the Heat

Let your movement match the season.

Summer’s for moving, playing, and actually enjoying it - not crashing halfway through.

When you move smarter, hydrate better, and recover on purpose - you’ll feel the difference.
