Tikhomirova noted that it is better to do the exercises in the morning or evening, when the sun is less active. As for clothing, preference should be given to light fabric that allows the skin to breathe.

If this is not an option, then training should only take place in a room with good air conditioning. You need to drink enough water, but it is better to completely refuse alcohol and coffee on hot days.

You shouldn't overeat before training. You should choose light food that won't cause swelling.
