I am not an early riser by any means.
But, due to the extreme heat, I have been getting up at 7am.
My boyfriend works totally from home and he spends a lot of his job on the phone. I want to work out, but I can’t blast music while he is on a call. Waiting around for him to get off the phone can take hours though. I decided that I could forgo the AC and being indoors so I can work out when I want. I started out working out around noon everyday. The outside weather would be humid and in the 100s. After working out most of my life in quality air conditioning, this was quite a change. I could barely last 30 minutes rather than my usual hour. I was coated in sweat and sluggish. So now I get up at 7am and immediately get work. I do my work out in the carport that is shaded. I lay some folding mats down and I do my crunches, push ups and sit ups. Is it as good as air conditioning inside? No way. The bugs bite me ridiculous amounts in the morning. Even though there is no sunlight, there is plenty of humidity. I get sweaty and tired really fast. I now look forward to working out on the weekends. I get to be inside and crank the AC as low as I want it to go. Now that I don’t get cooling as much, it is a treat when I get it for a workout.
