I am harshly glad that I moved from the Northeast to Phoenix, Arizona, a few years ago! I needed a change of scenery as well as was tired of the sub zero hot as well as cold temperatures as well as feet of snow.
I no longer wanted to need a four-wheel-drive vehicle, snow shovel as well as ice scraper! When I was offered a promotion that required me to relocate to Phoenix, I instantly accepted.
I bought a apartment that offers a lovely view of Camelback Mountain. When the weather allows, I prefer to hike either of it’s two trails 2,740 feet to the peak. The view of Phoenix from that height is really incredible. While the winters in Phoenix are much milder than what I was accustomed to, the temperature drops into the forties for about four or five months. It makes for some frigid evenings as well as afternoons. I like to workout everyday for approximately an hour. If possible, I cherish to get outside as well as run or cycle… During the winter, it’s necessary to wait for the day to warm up before heading outdoors. I’ve invested into specialized clothing that helps to keep me comfortable. If the outdoor air is too cold, it’s hard to get properly warmed up as well as really cherish the exercise. I have a lanai builts across the back of my apartment that is constructed really of screens. There is no way to fully control temperature. There are times in the winter season when I run a small space furnace as well as workout in the lanai. I’ve bought a treadmill, mini-trampoline, incline bench, free weights, yoga mat as well as battle ropes. In the Springtime as well as summer, the weather isn’t as big of an issue. In the summer, the heat makes a productive workout just about impossible. I get up as early as I can tolerate to exercise before the heat of the day. For many months of the year, the temperature is already in the nineties by seven o’clock in the morning as well as steadily climbs into the triple digits. I stand directly in front of a box fan running on max speed as well as am drenched in sweat before I’ve finished my warmup.
