Sophie was having the best time lifting weights in the gym until one day, it felt harder than usual. She was so confused—why was lifting the same weights so tough? Her coach noticed and said, “It could be because of the temperature. The heat or cold can change how your muscles feel.” Sophie didn’t understand. Her coach explained, “When it’s too cold, your muscles might be stiff, making it harder to move. But when it’s too hot, you might feel drained and tired faster.” Sophie learned that warm muscles work better. So, before lifting, she made sure to warm up in the gym so her muscles could get ready. On chilly days, she wore a cozy jacket before her workout, and on hot days, she drank cool water to keep her energy up. Soon, Sophie was lifting with ease again because she understood how temperature affected her body. She also realized that if she listened to her body and kept the right temperature, her workouts became smoother and more enjoyable. Sophie felt happy that she could now lift with confidence, no matter the weather.
