Great HVAC cooling sure motivates me to work out more
I’ve never been consistent when it comes to good lifestyle behaviors.
For sure, I’ve never been one to be super healthy.
At the same time, I’ve never veered into being self destructive or crazy with my lifestyle choices either. But going from sitting inside the zone controlled HVAC of the office to then sit inside the central air conditioning of my home wasn’t ideal. I knew this but just couldn’t seem to find any sort of momentum when it came to sticking to changes. I’d try a new diet only to bail in a couple of weeks. Instead of coming home to the recliner, I’d try getting out of the air conditioning for a walk. But again, I just couldn’t find any sort of consistency at all. Yet, I sure wasn’t getting any younger and the pandemic sort of helped me realize that my health was something I had to take care of. So I finally made some real changes and added a serious commitment as well. I have a stand up riser for my desk so I stand much of the day. And I don’t come home to the air conditioning and the couch. At first, I was going to the gym. That wasn’t so bad until the summer hit. Then, that place was just so hot as the HVAC cooling seemed overwhelmed. Instead of giving myself a reason to quit, I called the HVAC company. The HVAC professionals then installed a ductless heat pump in the basement where I now have my own home gym. And it’s made all the difference as I’m now super motivated to get after it when I get home from the office.
