Trying to go back to my walking routine

We have been facing a heat wave and last three weeks have been terribly hot, it has been impossible to walk, even at evening because the mosquitoes don't leave me alone. Now that I am on holidays I want to go back to my daily walks, I am now trying to walk early in the morning but it is hard to get up so early when I am on holidays but I feel I really need to walk again and it is better do it in the morning when it is still fresh. I always had problems to workout when it is too hot. Do you workout and take walks when it is hot? How do you manage it?

I have struggled to keep my walking and running routine the past 2 weeks because it has been so hot outside. Even when I try to walk/run in the early morning or late evening, I still struggle due to the heat and humidity. It just steals all my strength from me.

@nela13 It seems all of us in the northern hemisphere are experiencing these dreadful scorching temperatures right now.

It is quite difficult to keep a workout routine when we are facing a heat wave. Right now we have 38 celcious (around 101 Fahrenheit)

I take walks from my home to the post office box near my home. Thank goodness the weather is cooler due to some rain coming from Hurricane Hanna.

We have a treadmill in the house so I mostly use that. I don't like exercising when it's really hot.

When it is too hot like it has been here I don't have energy to walk.

I used to walk at that time too but now it is still too hot and as soon as the sun set there are many mosquitoes.

I walk almost everyday. The weather in my place is cool and dry, so even though I walk at noon, I seldom sweat.

No, I can't walk or exercise in this heat we are having. When I was about 30 years younger, I walked all the time no matter what the weather was like. I can't do that now.

@nela13 I know how you feel. It's the same way here. We have had rain for several days now and the humidity has gone down a little.

I walk early in the morning just about every day. Today we played tennis instead. I don’t mind the heat, but it’s good to work up a sweat.

@nela13 I will have to convert that to Fahrenheit, but it does seem awfully hot.

To tell you the truth, its harder to exercise period...but I got to do it too. On hot days I do half or as much as I can stand. It's difficult for me too, to exercise on hot days.
