One of the prime reasons that I wanted to come to this region was the mild winter.
We are just two mornings off from 2tmas and I’m able to be outside in shorts and a sweatshirt to get my weekly walk done.
It’s always so mild here that the heat pump hardly even turns on while in this chilly time of year. I have always tried to take care of my health and a large area of that is exercise. That said, I have never been all that fond of having to go to the local gym. It’s a combination of things really. I am rather uncomfortable working out with a bunch of people that I do not know. There’s always more than 2 super fit people that are always dominating the equipment. I tend to stay ultra non combative and always just try to wait my turn. But too often, I can’t get on the component that I need to use. The other big thing about the gym that I do not enjoy is the commercial HVAC. We may have very mild winters with genuinely little need for heating from the heat pump. But we get crushed months of the year with lots of heat and humidity. The commercial HVAC at my gym just can’t keep up. I barely even got changed in the dressing room before I break a sweat because the air conditioning is that overwhelmed. So I ended up putting a new ductless heat pump in my garage and that is where I have also put a house gym. It’s such an awesome venue to labor out. And the ductless heat pump makes it so comfortable with all the air conditioning I require. Plus, I never have to wait to get on the exercise components I want to use!
