I’ve always been far too embarrassed to ever actually join a gym.
I’m so completely uncoordinated and unathletic that if I’m going to exercise, I need to do it in private.
Well, that’s not entirely true. I do get outside of the commercial HVAC of the office at lunch for a walk. That’s exercise for sure when it comes to me. If I had my way, I’d never sweat or breath hard from exercise again for the rest of my life. I just don’t enjoy it. But I’m now to the stage in my life where I have to make a serious effort to get more fit. I started by not coming home to plop down in my chair and eat chips in the air conditioning. That was a start. When I get home now, I change out of work clothes and get busy doing other stuff. And then, it’s time for some exercise. These days, I’m doing more than just getting out of the central air conditioning for a walk. I’m actually getting a gym quality workout. It’s just that I’m not going to the gym. That’s just not going to change. I just can’t imagine feeling more out of place. Plus, if I’m going to be exercising, then I need me some cooling comfort right in my face. This is why I workout inside the guest room of our home. We moved out all the furniture and bought some equipment. I also called the HVAC company to have them install a ductless heat pump so I could get all the air conditioning I want. Like I said, I could go the rest of my life without breaking a sweat. So if I’m doing it on purpose with a workout, I need that ductless heat pump.
