When the weather warms up, there’s no reason to stay inside. After a long winter, the first sunny days lift your spirits and spark excitement for the months ahead — from summer BBQs and bike rides to city walks and new adventures.

A little planning helps you make the most of an active summer. Here are practical tips to help you enjoy the season comfortably and confidently.

Upgrade your active gear

Take your workouts outside and refresh your gear for the season. Comfortable running shoes, a breathable hat, polarized sunglasses and a reusable water bottle make outdoor activity more enjoyable. New gear can boost both comfort and confidence when you step outside.

Get active outdoors

Sunscreen is essential whenever you head outdoors. Look for lightweight, non-greasy formulas that stand up to sweat and water. Coppertone® Sport Sunscreen Continuous Spray SPF 30 offers a light, breathable formula that stays effective during activity and retains its SPF after 80 minutes of water exposure or sweating, so you can focus on your sport with reliable protection.

Keep allergies in check

Moving from indoor workouts to nature paths is refreshing, but seasonal pollen can derail your plans. Manage allergy symptoms like itchy eyes, sneezing and runny nose with effective, non-drowsy options so you can enjoy spring and summer activities without interruption. Claritin provides daytime relief so you can stay active and comfortable outdoors.

 

Find a local farmer’s market

Seasonal produce brings summer flavors to every meal — from garlic scape pesto to fresh pea salads with mint. Visit a local farmer’s market to pick up fresh, local ingredients that support your active lifestyle and make healthy, delicious meals easier to prepare.

Stay active to celebrate Canada 150

If you eased off during winter, Canada’s 150th is a great reason to get moving again. Outdoor events and community celebrations offer plenty of opportunities to be active. Consider pledging 1,500 steps before July 1st as a starting goal — and maybe you’ll work up to 15,000 by summer’s end. If aches and pains slow you down, ALEVE Back & Body Pain can help relieve discomfort so you can keep enjoying activities.
