thank god we dont live in miami then

The weather sucks here..man.

Uhh..keep hydrated? :kiss:

Do you have air-conditioned gyms? Problem here is that it is around 95 degrees everyday, with very high humidity (not exactly sure on the number right now), and, on top of it all, my gym has no air-conditioning, none. The gym is hotter and stuffier than it is outside, and my head started to spin yesterday from doing about 1/4 of the workout I usually do.

I was also wondering if it is safe to train under such conditions?

No sparring it was too hot..... Sparring later in the week instead.

It was more of just a vent. The day before I felt terrible from the heat, and felt very slow, so i was not looking forward to it as I usually do.

Executive..... its usually 5-6 rounds.... which gym are you at?

yea today is s'posed to b cooler and thank god i dont live in Miami. u guys couldnt live in our winters tho....we get the worst of all seasons...come and live a year in NY.

thank god we dont live in miami then
I know. It's gotten so ****in hot here, I break a quick sweat leaving the house, getting in my car and waiting for the AC to kick in.

I live in San Antonio, TX
We break 100 every summer and have relatively high humidity (not like Bmore tho).
We also do not have AC in our gym.
Ceiling fans & portable fans help.

Yeah I'm sure they do, but we don't have any fans in our gym either, nor are we allowed to bring any with us.

My mom talked to one of her friends that used to be a doctor, and the friend said that I should avoid training under these conditions as I can do a lot of damage to my heart. Looks like I'll have to do the exercises at home over this summer, and get back into the gym in the fall.

yah i'm pretty sure the training i was doing when i first moved back to texas (fort worth) was a big reason i can't train like i used to. I was throwing up almost every workout in 100 degree weather. gym had only weak ceiling fans and was in a big metal warehouse. not a good idea to push too hard in the heat like that.

i used to work out in dc on occasion - all the concrete in that town would really retain heat and make it hotter than outside of city limits. Plus that humidity, no breeze, and no trees like we got here; i'll stick with texas.

It was nice here in NY today. Nice breeze at noon, great for hitting the gym
