Its important to listen to your body dont be afraid totake breaks (and drink more water!) if you need to. Youcan also shorten your workout if necessary, or break it
up into intervalstry 8 minutes of low-intensity exercisewith a 2 minute break, repeated over the course of 30-45 minutes, depending on how your body can handle itin the heat.
Switch it upInstead of going for a run or attending an evening Step intoLife sessions, on hot days its a good idea to be flexible andchange your exercise time to earlier in the morning. Earlymornings tend to be much cooler! Be sure to contact yourTrainer ahead of time to let them know to expect you in themorning if this is your plan. If changing to a morning workoutduring a heat wave isnt possible and you still want to fit
some exercise in to your day, then aim for late evening. If itsstill too hot, swimming can be refreshing way to keep activein extreme heat.
Sweet summer shadePlan your outdoor exercise in the shade! Head for a walkthrough National Park forests (be sure to check Fire DangerWarnings ahead of time), workout with Step into Life underthe shade of a tree in your local park, or try a breezy placelike the beach or next to a lake.
Dress for the occasionWear light-coloured and lightweight clothing that wicksmoisture away from your skin and dries quickly. Avoid cottonT-shirts and shorts as theyll get sweaty, stay damp, andmake you feel hotter (and not the fun kind of hotter, either!).Wearing wicking socks and lightweight trainers will also helpto keep your feet cool and dry while preventing blisters.Finally, if youre out in the sun, dont forget a hat and to slip,slop, slap!
Remember, its always best to err on the side of caution inthe heat to avoid running into trouble if its over 35degrees, then use common sense and caution to decide ifyou should still be exercising or not. Stay cool, Australia!
Training TipsBeat the heat:exercising outdoors insummer
In case stepping outside into the toasty warm air wasntindication enough for you, summer has truly arrived acrossAustralia, with much of the country seeing temperaturesbetween 30-40 degrees most days this week. Whilebeautiful, this heat can be quite overwhelming when notmanaged properly. So how can you ensure that you stayactive while its still hot outside?
Stay hydratedDrink water or an electrolyte drink before, during and afteryour workout to avoid dehydration. Keep sipping throughoutyour workout, and all day long throughout the week!
Take it easyEase into hot outdoor workouts, and dont push yourself toohard. Exercise at a low intensity only.

Keep tempting treats out of the house and only bringing
home small quantities of sweet treats on weekends.
Plan a new and better food choice, like a handful of dried
fruit, and have it ready with you for when a craving strikes.
Distract yourself when you feel a craving coming on. Go for
a walk and the craving may dissipate.
Beat big emotions
In some cases sugar cravings can feel out of control, particularly ifdevouring sugar is used as a short-term fix for some biggeremotions.
Beat big emotions by:
First deal with any biological craving and bad habits by
using the strategies above. This sets you up for success. Name your emotionsbe it stress, boredom, anger or
anxiety. Then ask yourself, What other than food do I need
to make me feel better? Work towards satisfying cravings
with non-food rewards.
Be patient and know that it takes time to work through
emotions. Be your own best friend rather than beat yourself
up. Slip-ups are allowed!
Talk to someone you trust about your feelings or
challenges.
If its too much, get professional help from a counsellor.
Their expert advice and guidance may be just the breath of
fresh air you need.
Sugar cravings are not always based heavily on emotions, butknowing the sugar-feelings link is there in some way will better equipyou to make a breakthrough and beat sugar cravings for good.
With a little effort to address the biological cravings, bad habits andany emotions, the results are fantastic!

How to beat sugarcravingsYouve made it to mid-afternoon at work and then the sugarcraving hits. Are you hardwired to seek sugar or are thetreats just a bad habit? Here are three ways to beat thesesugar cravings for good?
Beat biological cravings
Whether its a hit of energy or a feeling of happiness, wenaturally feel better after consuming sugar. Its hard to know howbiologically susceptible you are to sugars lure. You may be a
hyper-responder with a strong chemical drive for sugar.
Beat biological sugar cravings by:
Starting your day with starches at breakfast to reduce
levels of another craving chemical called NPY
(neuropeptide-Y).
Include lean proteins at main meals to help feel fuller for
longer between meals.
Eat nutrient-rich as much as possible to minimise any
nutrient imbalances that may trigger the desire for
sugar.
Satisfy your sweet tooth with naturally sweet foods,
including; fresh and dried fruit, yoghurt or milk and evenroasted onion, peppers or beetroot.
Be careful with sweet diet foods, as they may not satisfy
a craving.
Be keenly aware of your hunger signals to avoid
becoming ravenous. This is when the craving chemicals
take over!
Keep a glass of water in your hand or on your desk to
avoid the temptation of grabbing a chocolate bar
instead.
Beat bad habits
Bad eating habits can keep the sugar-cycle spinning at fullspeed. But bad habits can be broken with awareness andpositive alternative behaviours.
Beat bad eating habits by:
Logging your eating triggers and reactions to become
more aware of your negative eating patterns.
