Dawg it’s 95°F out with 97%RH cmon
Exactly. Not to mention all the exhaust I have to breathe when I bike to work.
Ah yes. 9 PM, when the heat index is still 100°F.
Here’s yesterday’s peak heat index across Oklahoma. It being 99° isn’t the problem. It feeling 10 degrees hotter is.
one of the best working situations I had was being 3 miles from work. Walking was a nice workout and faster than most folks commutes. Would pass 3 parks btw during the stroll that had water fountains in the summer. If I was running late could bike it which was so quick it felt I was getting off my bike just after I got on. If the weather was bad or I just felt inclined to the bus was a straight shot.
Only dumb thing is if you are prone to sweating. I wouldn’t be able to do your routine not out of fitness issues, but because my body just flips on the sweat switch ™ when I do anything above 20 °C. Then you need changing rooms with a shower at your workplace.
Yep, I sweat like a horse, doing anything. I’m not a fat bastard, I’ve been like this since I was a kid.
I know people that workout during lunch. I ain’t got time to eat, workout, and shower - not just “rinse off”, my ass needs a shower.
I’ve done walk to work occasionally with on-site visits where the hotel was close to the client… In the winter. Summer? No fucking way.
So we’re just going to pretend that the other 90% of the gym doesn’t exist?
Right? It would take me most of an hour to walk to my gym, which is really close (I do sometimes jog to the gym and walk home, when I have time).
i could see people doing that to avoid meeting non-gym people. like when you get your ass complimented every 5 meters outside of the gym.
also, if there barely are any sidewalks near your home or it’s generally unsafe in some way.
This is some stuck up shit right here. People are getting out and exercising and we’re judging them for not doing it how we like. Gyms are much more than treadmills, treadmills are easier and more consistent for people starting out, the summer heat is brutal and gyms are air conditioned, or maybe you just wanna watch something to take your mind off the run itself. There’s lots of great reasons to use a treadmill at the gym.
An additional point to treadmills is that it’s easier on my knees and ankles. Also, I know we’re not supposed to talk to people at the gym but I chat --ever so briefly-- with the regulars that go at my times. It’s nice to say hi to a familiar face every now and again. As I’m getting older and do remote work, it’s useful for me.
It’s almost like Joker is a villain and makes bad points to screw with Batman
Also on a treadmill you can run all the way until you can’t anymore, if you do this outside then you wind up exhausted and stranded.
Yes, which is why I added “exhausted” to highlight why that is undesirable.
