Roll THe Windows Down

Another heat wave. You know what that means, it’s going to be hot in the gym.

When I was in college, I was an ice truck delivery driver. Besides being one of my favorite jobs ever, I learned about heat regulation. Going from the air conditioned truck, into the sweltering heat, through a stuffy store or kitchen was brutal. After a while, I learned to keep the AC off, and drive with the windows down.

When I would get to the delivery location, I was more prepared to deal with the heat - the temperature shift was less extreme. Sure, driving the truck wasn’t as pleasant, and more sweaty, but it made a big difference.

To best prepare yourself for a hot workout at GAIN, shut that AC off. Drive here with the windows down, get a dosage of the heat before coming into the gym. If you come from an air conditioned home, to air conditioned car, to air conditioned store to air conditioned car to non air conditioned gym, you’ll be feeling it.

A little exposure goes a long way.

Stay cool!
