Summer workouts made easy - just start with this! 4 must-have summer workout essentials we highly recommend!

Hello :D The weather has gotten really hot, both day and night.

Lately, just thinking about exercising makes me break out in sweat💦

With the heat, going to the gym feels like such a hassle, and running outside is just too hot…

So these days, I find myself drawn again to simple home workouts that I can do comfortably indoors 👀

But when I actually try to work out, I sometimes wonder, “Am I even doing this right?” 

 I end up sweating a lot, my routine keeps getting interrupted…it's a struggle.

That's why, if you want to start working out effectively this summer - and keep it up more consistently and smartly -

I've got 4 seriously helpful summer workout essentials to recommend.

Let's tackle those hot summer workouts together! 💪

Let's dive right into the 4 must-have summer workout items!

🔄 1. Foam Roller - A Must-Have Before and After Workouts

Perfect for loosening up your body, especially when you're feeling stiff or sticky.

After a workout, when you're drenched in sweat, lying on the floor can feel a bit gross. That's when a foam roller really comes in handy - just lay it down and roll out your thighs, calves, or lower back. It helps your muscles recover and eases that post-workout fatigue too.

In the hot summer, managing your stamina is especially important, and the foam roller really plays a key role.

If you're using a foam roller for the first time, we recommend a large, long one with a smooth surface!

✔️ Easy to maintain proper posture and provides good stability

✔️ Gentle on the body with less intense pressure, making myofascial release more comfortable

✔️ Can also be used for balance exercises and stretching on the foam roller

on the other hand, textured rollers can be painful for beginners!

Textured foam rollers like these are great for:

✔️ People who feel regular foam rollers don't provide enough pressure

✔️ Those who often have tight, knotted muscles

But if used incorrectly, they can cause bruising or strain your bones, so it's important to learn how to use them properly!

When you stick to a workout routine, sometimes your daily conditions and recovery feel even more important than the workout itself. At times like that, spending just 2-3 minutes rolling out stiff areas like your calves, thighs, back, or lower back can make a noticeable difference. Especially in summer, when you sweat more and your muscles seem to tighten up more easily from even small triggers, I find myself reaching for the foam roller even more often.

With just a foam roller, it feels like you naturally cover your warm-up, recovery, and cool-down all in one.

💦 2. Sports Towel - The Perfect Cool-Down Item

Stays dry even when you're sweating and dries quickly, too!

When you're working out and the sweat starts pouring, how many times have you thought, "wait...where's my towel?"  Happens all the time, right?

What you need in that moment isn't a heavy, thick hotel towel - but a real workout towel that's lightweight and perfect for wiping away sweat!

Sports towels are super lightweight, soft to the touch, and made from quick-absorbing, fast-drying, materials - which makes them perfect for summer workouts.

Wiping off sweat before it dries can make a big difference in both your focus and how you feel during your workout.

If you're trying to stick to a workout routine, don't settle for just any towel - try a sports towel, you'll feel the difference!

🟦 3. Yoga Mat - Your Dedicated Space for Building a Workout Routine

We recommend a non-slip yoga mat with great grip!

When you're doing home workouts, just laying out your mat can feel like a signal - "It's time to start."

It's less about how well you work out, and more about the fact that you unrolled the mat - that alone feels like you've kept your routine going.

And honestly, yoga mat aren't just for yoga. You'll need one for almost every move- planks, burpees, squats, stretching, and more. If you work out directly on the floor, your knees can hurt or you might slip, so if you're trying to stay consistent with your workouts, a mat naturally becomes a must-have.

in summer, you end up using a mat even more often - it helps prevent slipping on sweaty floors, and it's easy to wipe clean, which makes it great for keeping your routine tidy and consistent.

It's also more stable to use TracMe on a mat. The sensor doesn't slide around, and since your hands and feet stay in the same defined space, your tracked movements feel more accurate and consistent.

Okay, so up to this point, these are the basic essentials most people probably already have.

But.. there's one summer workout item that's been seriously trending among real fitness lovers lately!

Once you've got all these items ready, the next question is usually, "But what exactly should I do?"

You start searching YouTube, looking up workout routines, saving videos...and sometimes it just feels like too much hassle, so you end up pulling it off.

And even if you manage to finish a workout, you're doing it alone at home - doesn't it make you wonder if your form was right, or if it was actually effective?

📲 TracMe – The Smart App That Tracks Your Workout Routine

TracMe is an app that automatically records what you've done during your workout just by wearing special sensor-equipped braces on your elbows or knees.

When you open the TracMe app, it shows you at a glance how many of your planned exercises you completed today, which msucle groups you worked, and whether you've improved compared to yesterday.

How to start you routine and keep track of it

TracMe isn't just about showing numbers - it's a system that really makes you feel like, "Yeah, I worked out today." When you exercise based on just a feeling, it's easy to lose track. You get confused about how many reps you did, and sometimes the same routine feels completely different. Using TracMe helps you stay steadier and keep your workouts consistent. On days you don’t exercise, the app shows nothing, which actually makes you more aware of skipping it. Once your routine becomes part of your daily life, working out starts to feel like a solid habit.

What home workouts really need is AI-powered feedback.

The truth is, we all know how to do squats, lunges, planks… and why they’re good for us!

The real challenge is, how consistently am I actually doing them?

At the gym, trainers check your form one by one, but at home, there’s really no one watching you. That’s where TracMe steps in as your workout partner, tracker, and feedback system.

Since TracMe gives you feedback after your workout, it makes reviewing your progress fun, boosting your satisfaction with how well you finished your session and leaving you with a clearer sense of having worked your body. It also recommends routines that suit you better and lets you create your own personalized workout plan, so over time you develop a better feel for your exercise.

TracMe — Even More Essential in Summer

Summer is that season when it’s so easy to waver between working out and just resting. It’s hot, humid, and exhausting…

That’s why having a workout that leaves a record — something that actually tracks what you’ve done — makes a big difference.

In summer, it’s not just consistency that matters — the environment becomes the biggest challenge. To keep up your routine in tough conditions, you need a system that reduces small inconveniences and objectively tracks your progress.

After breaking a sweat, opening the app and seeing something like “132 reps today, 63% lower body, medium intensity” feels like someone’s been right there watching and supporting me — even though I did it all alone.

When you hit your workout goals and see the results in clear numbers, the sense of accomplishment is twice as strong.

So if someone asked me what my go-to summer workout essential is, I’d say — without a doubt — TracMe.

So, that’s the 4 workout essentials I wanted to recommend and introduce!

When you plan your workouts, it feels like it should be easy. Just carve out 30 minutes, and there are tons of follow-along videos on YouTube. But somehow, sticking with it turns out to be the hardest part.

That’s why during times like summer—when it’s easy to get tired and lose your rhythm—tools that make exercising a bit more comfortable, less of a hassle, and more consistent play a big role. Things like foam rollers, sports towels, and cooling items really help.

And at the heart of it all, I believe, is TracMe. A workout that leaves a record, a routine where you can see exactly what you’ve done, and a system that lets you say, “I worked out today.”

Ultimately, what matters most is building a structure that keeps your routine on track — and the process of discovering what makes that possible for you is key.

In the end, consistency is the key to fitness,

but what makes that consistency possible are the small triggers and the environment around you.

This summer, keep track of your workout routine with TracMe.
