Anyone else have trouble getting motivated to hit the gym when the temps and humidity are high.
I see you're from NY. I'm from southwestern CT, about an hour outside NYC. Dude it is humid as a motherf*cker up here. I'm sure its the same over there. Its 90 degrees with 90% humidity. It seriously feels like 150 degrees. It really sucks. The humidity is awful. Ok, enough complaining. Good thing I work in an office. AC all day, AC in my car. But no AC at my house. Oh well.
yup.
but i got no a/c at the house, and there's great a/c at the gym. hence, i don't have as much of a problem wanting to go :)
ditto hot as hell at home cool at the gym sounds like a no brainer to me
Not me. When its hot and humid I sweat more which makes me feel like I'm getting a better workout.
Im in NY also, heats getting the best of me, called in sick today, sick of the humidity!!! :icon_piss
Same with me, the hotter, the betterQuote:

i have this problem her, its 90% humidity + hot weather +we have an electricity problem in the country !!!! imagine yourself training in an underground gym with small lights no ventilation and no AC and a very hot weather with humidity
Im in the humidity capital. i think it was 95% the other day. some days im outside for 8 hrs and then i hit the gym. i usually sit in my truck with the ac on for awhile till im cooled and feel better. i skip cardio and go straight for the weights.
i agree with ya on that. i work out at a private boxing gym in fla. a.c. is not alowed. of course i skate everyday so i go from one extreme to the other. i just posted this in another forum...im on vacation in upstate ny. i have a barn on my property. i threw some weights in there and a heavybag. its gotta be 120 in there. lately though after my morning skate, i have no desire to go in there. humidity knocks me right out.Quote:

Nope, I love to sweat my ass off when I run or lift. I am serious.Quote:

I wonder if i walked outside in this heat and started swaeting ....would it be condidered cardio if i got my heart rate up to 65% of max?
:lol: :wg: :aaGreen22 :scratch:
Been brutal in CT past few days. Its been real had to get the energy up
Long Island, NY here. i walk outside in the morning and i'm soaked by the time the AC in my car kicks in.
