Living in the northeastern section of the country, the weather is especially severe, then all of us deal with high heat & humidity in the summers! In the winter, the temperature is normally below cold & sometimes dips into the drawback digits, and the snow piles up in feet, however during the fall & Spring, both of us experience a mix of high winds, rain, sleet, cold rain & hail.
It’s nearly impossible to handle my workouts outside.
I have invested into all unusual types of exercise attire & gear to combat the weather. I have jackets & pants that repel water & keep myself and others dry. I have shorts & tanks that wick away moisture when I’m dripping with sweat profusely. I’ve bought insulated clothing for the cold afternoons. In the Summer I make an effort to get up as early as possible & workout before the heat of the day; When the weather turns cooler, I often wait until midday to workout. However, it’s not safe to run when the sidewalks are icy or covered in wet leaves. It’s legitimately unpleasant to ride my bike when it’s raining, snowing or extremely hot & muggy. I really love every occasion to carry my yoga mat out onto the deck & breathe fresh air while in the workout. I find that I’m more motivated & get more benefits out of the workout when I can get outdoors, however because I’m trapped inside the majority of the time, I’ve invested in a variety of helpful equipment. I have a treadmill, stationary bike, yoga mat, set of free weights, incline bench & kettlebells at my disposal.
