Overview
- As an active heat wave triggers an orange alert in Buenos Aires, specialists advise adapting routines to the heat to reduce medical risk.
- Hydrate before exercising, take small sips every 10–20 minutes during activity, then replace fluids and salts afterward without waiting for thirst.
- Schedule sessions for early morning (about 6:00–9:00) or evening (about 19:00–21:30) and avoid roughly 10:00–17:00 when heat stress peaks.
- Lower intensity and extend rest periods, with particular caution for prolonged cardio, strength work without adequate pauses, and uncontrolled HIIT.
- Emphasize gradual progression and movement technique, target about two to three sessions per week, and include warm-up and cool-down stages with light clothing and sun protection.
