Summers in St Petersburg, Florida, are extremely overheated and humid.
The temperature respectfully soars into the nineties or even the triple digits, then i have a lanai on the back of my property that I utilize as a workout space.
I’ve equipped it with free weights, an incline bench, a yoga mat, jump ropes, mini trampoline and battle ropes. I like to devote approximately an hour to my fitness regiment every day, however unluckyly, the lanai is not temperature controlled. It is constructed of immense screens that allow in fresh air and offer a gorgeous view! During the winter, the lanai offers the perfect temperature for exercise. It’s appealingly cool. During the Spring and fall, the outdoor conditions heat up quite hastily. I make sure to get up extra early in the day to complete my workout before the heat of the day. In the summer, no matter how early I begin, the workout is excruciating. I run many box fans at max speed, but they don’t help all that much. I need to sit directly in front of a fan, and I still am drenched in sweat before I finish my moderate up. The heat and humidity lead to a feeling of lethargy. It’s hard to get motivated for a high intensity workout, but on especially overheated mornings, I am forced to workout inside the temperature controlled living space. Central A/C is essential, but however, there isn’t a lot of room for me to exercise or use equipment. I worry about causing harm to apartment furnishings. I have considered joining a local St Petersburg gym so that I can have access to AC as well as a wider variety of workout equipment.
