Working out down south is pretty difficult. My husband plus I do the snowbird thing. In the north the cold weather isn’t a complication since I have a gym membership. My gym is only around a twenty minute drive. The fitness facility has everything I could want. Occasionally I do laps in the pool, or use the indoor running track. There are a ton of equipment pieces, a fresh locker room plus even a sauna to use. I get entirely spoiled when I am there. Occasionally the weather is awful though. I have to brush snow off my car plus thaw the ice. I need to drive in icy conditions that can get frightening. Southern weather is much nicer. I get hot sun basically the whole time I am there. There is no worry about being too chilly. The fitness situation isn’t as good. There just aren’t as many options here. The place my husband and I have a home is certainly tailored towards retired people. So there is only a single gym there and it isn’t that great. It has a few sit down bikes plus a small part to stretch. At least it has a cooling system. That is about all I can say positive though. More often than not I just work out in my house. I pull in a folding mat plus do my own thing. That is the only part of my southern life I don’t entirely enjoy. Having a great gym nearby is a must have. I will need to invest in workout gear when the two of us live full time in the south.
