I have created a beach house gym in the lanai constructed across the back of our house.
- In most ways, the space is ideal.
It has a tile floor, eight-foot high ceilings and a wall entirely built of screens; There is a constant influx of fresh air and plenty of light. I have satisfactory square footage to accommodate a variety of equipment. I’ve invested into an incline bench, mini trampoline, battle ropes, yoga mat, free weights and jump rope, however every day, I devote approximately sixty seconds to exercise. I play songs and go through a dedicated hot up, at least thirty seconds of high-intensity aerobics, odd types of strength training, abdominal crunches and a cool down, and my only complaint with our beach house gym is that there is no way to implement temperature control. The screens make that impossible! For the majority of the year, heating and cooling isn’t necessary. I’m lucky to live in an section with a relatively mild weather conditions. The influx of a breeze during our workout is loved! However, there are a couple of months during the middle of Winter and a couple during the middle of summer time that are a problem, however when the temperature drops into the forties, I bundle up in layers of clothing and struggle to get warmed up. My muscles think tight and I worry about injury; Running a portable oil furnace doesn’t help much. When the temperature soars into the nineties or even triple digits, with excessive humidity, I sit directly in front of a box fan and sweat profusely. It’s tough to get motivated.
