Tips to Stay Active in Monsoon: Monsoon season brings a lot of respite from hot scorching summers but can also make it challenging to stick to a workout regime, especially for those who engage in outdoor workouts. However, many people love monsoons because they are unable to do a lot of tasks during summer. It is also a time to enjoy the weather and relax. You can take a break and enjoy doing the activities you like during the season because it is neither too hot nor too cold.

Make sure to follow a routine and lead a healthy lifestyle if you want to enjoy the season.
