The weather and heat in my area forces indoor exercise for the vast majority of the year.
- I live in a part of the country that experiences temperature swings from a downside of twenty five degrees to the high end of the lower 90s, however my pal and I deal with record-splitting snowfall, sleet, dangerous windchill, downpours, hail, high winds as well as intense and brutal humidity.
I’ve set up a dwelling gym that accommodates a very beneficial workout. I’ve invested into kettlebells, resistance bands, medicine balls, dumbbells, an incline bench, jump ropes as well as a yoga mat. I run on a treadmill many times per week. While running involves a tough impact on my feet, ankles as well as knees, it’s also a good way to utilize the whole area as well as burn a tremendous amount of calories. It gets my heart pumping at a high rate, encourages the lungs to expand as well as inspires a thorough sweat, but running helps improve stamina, tones the muscles as well as helps to alleviate stress. It allows me to clear my head and get into a more positive mindspace as well as benefit from feel-good endorphins. When I run on the treadmill, I have constant access to my water bottle. I can listen to songs as well as adjust the temperature control to my personal preference. The treadmill offers a variety of programs targeting duration, speed or endurance. I can increase the intensity by adding an incline or running faster. By keeping a record of my workouts, the high-tech treadmill allows me to compete against my personal best. I like that I don’t need to stress or worry about dressing for the weather. There are no issues with nasty cats, traffic or uneven ground. When I am through with a run, I simply step off the machine.
