The weather here forces me to do indoor exercise for the majority of the year.
I live in a part of the country which experiences temperature fluctuations from a drawback twenty five degrees to the higher eighties or lower nineties.
We deal with record-cutting snowfall, dangerous windchill, downpours, sleet, hail, high winds as well as excessive humidity. I’ve set up a condo gym that accommodates a beneficial workout. I’ve invested in kettlebells, resistance bands, medicine balls, dumbbells, an inclined bench, jump rope as well as yoga mat. I run on the treadmill more than 2 times per week. While running involves a difficult impact on the feet, ankles as well as knees, it’s also a good way to utilize the whole neighborhood as well as burn a tremendous amount of calories. It gets my heart pumping at a faster rate, encourages the lungs to expand as well as inspires a thorough sweat, however running improves endurance, tones the muscles as well as helps to alleviate stress. It allows me to clear my mind, get into a positive mindspace as well as benefit from feel-good endorphins. When I run on a treadmill, I have easy access to my water bottle. I can listen to rock n roll as well as adjust the temperature controls to my preference. The treadmill offers a wide variety of programs targeting duration, speed or endurance. I can increase intensity by adding a steeper incline or running faster. By keeping a record of my workouts, the treadmill allows me to compete against my personal best time. I like that I don’t need to worry about dressing for the weather outside. There are no problems with nasty dogs, traffic or uneven ground. When I am done with my run, I simply step off the machine.
