Do You Work Out More in the Summer or Less?

June 26, 2008

I used to think Summer was the most relaxing season of them all, but I am beginning to change my mind. While I used to think it was easier to fit in more workouts, there is vacationing to be done, BBQs to attend, and camps to get the girls to. On top of the increased social activity (and I am really not complaining about it) interfering with my exercise time, there is the weather to contend with. Heat, humidity, thunderstorms, wild fires affecting the air quality – all these conditions seem to work against me getting physical.

What about you . . .

I work out differently in the summer. During the "winter" (Florida), I take lots of walks, climb stairs, do yard work, and any outdoor activities that seem appealing at the time. During the summer, I may go for the occasional 6:00 am run since the sun is up nice & early, but definitely stay inside & cool as much as possible. My treadmill is an option if I crank the AC way down. Sadly, the stairwell at work is not air conditioned, so it is hot as hades in the summer. I also do more weight training than cardio in the summer, to avoid getting sick from getting overheated.

I like summer sports better than winter ones, mostly because I hate being all bundled up like the michelin man.

I tend to work out more since I am out of school for the summer... although now I have graduated from school and started my first job in the real world its harder to stay motivated after a long day at work... I still make it a point to make myself work out!

I work out the same, no matter what the season. I like the fact that my body looks great in a bikini no matter what the weather is outside. Although, I do work out more indoors with the AC in the summer because it gets really hot.

i work out the same amount, regardless of the season. i'm always at the gym - 5+ times a week...so it doesnt matter if it's the middle of winter or the hottest day in the summer.

I exercise more. The longer days give me more energy and opportunities, the summer clothes give me more motivation, the studying for exams makes any other activity look hundred times better.

The sun pouring into my room and waking me up gives me the motivation to actually get up and go.

"I exercise the same amount no matter the season." This is me. I'm fit all year round.

I'm the opposite. It's too hot here in the summer (like 115) so I probably work out a little less. Winter is when I can actually be outside and stuff.

I tend to workout the same amount, but its definitely harder to fit it in during the summer. Like Fit, there are parties to attend to! So, I'm trying to get things out of the way in the morning so I have no excuse not to work out and at and also so I have no excuse to say no to invitations out at night too! Win/win. But getting up is def hard

More really since I can go to the park more and I'm more likely go somewhere with family where we move around more.

It's too hot, and the sun rises earlier. I like to work out before it gets too light or warm out, therefore I work out less in the summer. Plus I just get lazy.

I totally agree with fit -- if I'm not going away, the weather is horrible. I hate to go running in the gym, so I tend to not work out when its too hot or humid or rainy.

I excercise more because I have more free time but in the winter I am trying now to excercise the same amount. It's hard when you live in a city that gets snow!
