Summer is here, which means soaring temperature and sweating. However, do not let the high temperatures dampen your exercise plans. To help you out, Delhi-based sportswear designer Neha Raheja rounds up tips that are just what you need for working out in summers.
When the temperatures rise, you need running clothes that can keep you fresh and comfortable. So it is best to opt for fabrics like Capilene or polypropylene that will hold the moisture away from your body. They are light and will prevent you from feeling weighed down by the sun so that you can sprint worry-free.
Avoid wearing cotton as they may absorb the sweat but don t pull it away from your skin. Also do not wear clothes made of plastic-based or rubber-based materials as they can keep your body temperature high during a workout. Here's a guide to buying workout clothes according to body shape.
In summers, you should always wear clothes that are loose and comfortable. The baggy pants can make you feel uncomfortable and also get tangled in the pedals while you cycle. So opt for capris, slim-fitting long pants and shorts. Never keep a long sleeve tee shirt tied around your waist can also be a bad idea as it will add unnecessary bulk and make you feel uncomfortable.

Plus, the material will help you breathe and keep you cool even when it is 40 degrees outside. Here are more tips to choose the right clothes for yoga.
