Buy Walking VideosQuestion of the Week: Exercising In The Heat
The heat has affected my appetite. I don’t really want to eat anything except cold food like fruit and veggies from the fridge, so it has made me eat more healthy. Exercising in this heat however has been difficult. I have been running in the early mornings to avoid the heat that barrels down on our city at about 9am. The sprinklers spray me and I don’t care. They feel good.
What do you do to keep up your exercise routine in the summer?
How has the heat affected your motivation to exercise and eat healthy?
The Question of the Week is meant to be an Inner Workout for you. Find some time during the week and allow yourself to write the answers to the questions posted. You can write them on paper, on a word processor or here in the comments section. Whatever works for you as long as you do it.
Keep writing until you find out something about yourself that you didn’t know before. I’ve also heard that it works to keep writing until you cry, but that doesn’t really work for me. Whatever works for you. Just keep writing until it feels right.

In heat I exercise with a fan or AC or walk in a cool store. Sweat just reeves toxins out and some water weight. You actually burn more in cooler whether but people eat more. It’s one of the reasons people get hungry during winter.

During the summer, to avoid the heat, I exercise in a fitness center. They are easily affordable and almost always have a membership offer. Most cost around $20/mo. with additional one time fees for joining. While at the fitness club that I belong to I can choose from bikes, ellipticals, treadmills, free weights, strength training, and abdominal workouts. At places like these it is easy to keep your workout interesting. You should try a gym like Bally Total Fitness.
