Where I live, the Summer can be straight brutal. And this is the time of year where we’re all realizing that every one of us have the next more than three weeks of steamy heat to contend with. But it also reminds me to be grateful as well. First, I super fortunate to live in the age of residential Heating plus Air Conditioning and all the great Heating plus Air Conditioning technology that comes with that. Second, I’m still thankful I don’t have to deal with a gas gas furnace and all that snow up north while I was in the winter. So if dealing with the Summer heat and trying to keep the temperature control at a setting I can afford is my trade off, I’ll still take it. But I have to sort of transfer indoors for the exercise portion of my life. I’ve never been a gym sort of woman. For 1, I can’t seem to find a gym in this town with the sort of commercial Heating plus Air Conditioning that can handle the heat and a hundred sizzling people. But there’s a unusual discomfort as well. I just believe strange working out with people I don’t believe is such close proximity. So mainly, I’m outside on my bike or playing tennis or something. The Summer forces me into the basement because unless it’s the crack of dawn, it’s too sizzling to ride bikes. So I have a ductless heat pump in the basement and a stationary bike to get my miles in. This summer, I’m going to add some resistance band training down there in that perfect air conditioning. The Summer is for air conditioning but it doesn’t last forever!
