What’s the temperature in your gym? Yesterday mine was 98 degrees.
Once, when I said something in a post about going to the gym, my son chimed in. “Don’t lie, Mom. You don’t go to the gym.”
Rude accusations aside, he was wrong. I do go to the gym. I don’t go to a health club or a fitness center or a recreation facility. I go to a gym.
Remember gym? Big room, wood floor, retractable bleachers and a basketball hoop at each end?
Yeah, the gym. I happen to exercise at one owned by a local Boys & Girls Club. It’s not air conditioned; typically it’s about 10 degrees warmer than the temperature outside. Not only that, when I work out really hard, it spins around.
This is a pivotal time in my workout cycle. My current eight-week session is about to expire, hopefully before I do. My cue is, when I start to see spots, it’s time to back off.
I dragged myself back there yesterday after recovering from a bout with my respiratory illness. The air was like melting Jell-O. I made it though my one-hour class, motivated by knowing I’ll need to put on a swimsuit and a party dress within days. As if one workout were going to do magic. So I plowed through, periodically stepping outside into the 90-degree heat to take a breath.
I need to find a summer exercise alternative that isn’t going to cost me a flabby arm and leg.
That sounds dangerous. They actually let kids play in that temperature? When it’s that hot outdoors, camps have to have sprinklers on. They should ready themselves for an eventual lawsuit.
They have a swimming pool, but we old ladies who Jazzercise there aren’t allowed to use it.
Go swimming!!!
Great exercise and fun too.
