Growing up, my folks made sure I was involved with athletics from a very early age.
Since neither or my parents were athletic at all, I have a feeling they put me in all those sports to keep me occupied.
I’m certain I was a handful as a child so, wearing me out with sports was probably elemental. However, I guess I’m glad they did because being athletic has remained with me throughout my adult life as well. While I enjoy playing sports, I would also not qualify myself as some sort of gym rat either. In fact, I have never really felt very comfortable at the gym. There are just too many people. The HVAC can never catch up so, the heat and humidity in the gym are ugly. Plus, it just feels weird to be working out in front of so many strangers. I guess I’m weird that way. Well, as I am aging, I have to be a bit easier on my joints. The days of running on pavement have ended for me. The elliptical machine and the treadmill are very much in my future. However, as I stated, I hate the gym. So, this left me only one real alternative. I cleared out a never used guest room and put in a home gym. It was great at first. But, it became just way too hot in that room when I went for a full workout. So, I called up the HVAC guy and he came to fix it. My trusted HVAC pro put in a mini split ductless heating and cooling unit. This has changed everything. I actually look forward to working out now!
