🌞 Warming into Summer: 5 Tips to Increase Your Activity This Summer in Brighton and Hove
Summer in Brighton and Hove is truly special. From early morning strolls along Hove Promenade to outdoor yoga sessions in Queen’s Park, it’s the perfect time to shake off the winter blues and boost your health. At Life is Movement Clinic in Hove, we’re passionate about helping our community stay active, mobile, and injury-free.
Here are 5 easy tips to help you move more this summer — with a Brighton and Hove twist!
1. Walk the Seafront Daily
Brighton and Hove’s coastline is a local treasure. Walking from Hove Lagoon to Brighton Pier gives you fresh sea air, low-impact exercise, and gorgeous views (just try and give the drunk, sunburnt Londoners a wide berth)
Tip: Set a daily step goal — even a 15-minute stroll after work can boost your mood and fitness.
2. Try Outdoor Classes in Local Parks
Summer means fitness classes move outside! Look out for yoga, Pilates, and bootcamps in Queen’s Park, Hove Park, and even the Level.
Movement in the fresh air can improve flexibility, balance, and core strength — vital as we age.
Tip: Always warm up properly to prevent strains, and if you have old injuries, check in with a physiotherapist first.
3. Book a Bike Tour or Casual Ride
Whether you’re renting a BTN BikeShare or bringing your own, cycling along the Undercliff Walk or towards Shoreham can be a gentle, joyful workout.
Low-impact and great for joint health, cycling is perfect if you’re looking to build fitness without too much strain.
Tip: If you’re feeling unsure about cycling posture or knee pain, we offer clinical exercise consultations at Life is Movement Clinic.
4. Swim at the Beach or Outdoor Pools
Nothing says Brighton summer like a swim! Sea swimming can boost circulation and mental health — but if the Channel is too chilly, try Saltdean Lido.
Swimming is excellent for strengthening without stressing your joints.
Tip: If you’ve had a shoulder injury before, ask us about exercises to prep your muscles for swimming safely.
5. Stretch and Strengthen with Professional Support
Increased activity can sometimes expose old injuries or tight muscles. Booking a physiotherapy assessment can help you move smarter and stay pain-free.
At Life is Movement Clinic in Hove, we offer tailored physiotherapy and clinical exercise plans to help you make the most of your active summer.
