It's too hot to workout! Here's a thought . . .

Today I went to the gym and the air conditioning was broken due to "technical issues beyond our control."  Thanks a lot!   Needless to say, between the 25 elliptical trainers, 20 treadmills, 2 rowing machines and 15 stationary bikes, it was one sweaty mess. So I immediately left and drove myself to the mall.  I did three "laps" around the top floor (bypassing the food court thank you very much), took three laps downstairs and then went up the stairs a couple of times.  Now if anyone has good a.c. it's the fine folks at South Coast Plaza!  Next time I'll use a pedometer so I know how much distance I've covered.    Anyone else found good ways to beat the heat and still get some exercise in?  I'd love some suggestions! :) Joanna

On hotter days, I am leaving earlier for work and getting off at a different subway stop, then walking back.  About a mile.  That way, at least I am getting that much in before the day gets too hot. I also just bought some exercise equipment for home, so I can turn on my ac and get busy here. Lisa

Joanna, Quit your whining and suck it up!!!!    I live in AZ and it's like no a/c outside all the time during the summer.  I've been swimming and doing my aqua aerobics six days a week.  I usually post on the VSG board and you may not be used to my humor.  I was just joking.  I also have a membership at a gym with a pool and that helps in the winter months.

the strectch bands in your house with the soap opera's on. it works for me.

If you don't have any exercise equipoment at home then a good old fashioned workout VHS or DVD will do the trick!!
