getting motivated on hot and humid days

[nystreetfghtr]

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

[palumbo]

ditto hot as hell at home cool at the gym sounds like a no brainer to me

[StoneGRMI]

Not me. When its hot and humid I sweat more which makes me feel like I'm getting a better workout.

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.

Hot as hell in NYC, but just think of how crappy the winter was, I never complain if I think of that...

I'm in MD and its the same predicament......................but if its not health related i never get off track with my schedule...............

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

[nystreetfghtr]

I motivated myself to hit the gym, even during the sweltering temps. I'm glad I did. it was one of my best chest workouts. I guess the sweating helps not to mention the girls sweating it up on the cardio machines. When I was I was done it actually felt cooler outside.

[SHRED]

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?

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.
