The option that can help keep you safe when active on a sunny and warm day is:

Take frequent breaks in a shaded area to avoid overheating.

This practice allows your body to cool down and helps prevent heat-related illnesses.

The other options are not advisable for safety on a warm day:

  • Wearing layers of heavy clothing is not recommended as it can increase the risk of overheating.
  • Removing your hat and sunglasses can expose you to more sun and increase the risk of sunburn or heat stress.
  • Avoiding drinks until after the workout can lead to dehydration, which is dangerous in hot weather. It’s important to stay hydrated during exercise.
