It’s Works for Me Wednesday at We are THAT Family, check out all the fun and this, is what works for me:
I love going outside and walking/running. It’s always so refreshing, sunny sky, cool breeze, gorgeous all around.
BUT…
that only last for like a month for me.
I live in Texas. Hot Humid Houston.
Me + Humid = hate each other Not Friends.
So thankfully, there’s always the gym.
The good ol’ treadmill!

Walking on the treadmill, easy-breezy. Running on a treadmill, scares the bananas outta me!
So I’ve decided to think of all the pros of being on a treadmill:
- The tempature is always comfortable in the gym
- There’s always a bathroom close by
- You can control the incline as much as you want {It’s flat here in Texas}
- There’s always someone pretending to workout to watch
- The treadmill has better shock absorption
- You don’t have to watch out for cars… or dogs
- You don’t have to carry your water bottle with you {or on you}
- There’s always someone running hardcore near you, it tends to make you try harder
- You won’t get dirt in your socks
- You can get totally lost in your thoughts whether you’re inside or outside. Nice.
There ya go. That’s my top ten list that I could come up with, not too shabby. 
So tell me, do you prefer to workout inside or outside? Are you lucky enough to have fantastic weather all the time {you Californian’s you} or are you like me and can’t stand the hot weather?

I prefer indoors on a treadmill. I’m phobic of seeing ppl I know when outside. I don’t know what it is. I’ll walk my dog, but you’ll never see me “run” outside. LOL
Great post. While the treadmill can be boring this post convinces me. Although I find the treadmill harder on the body than outdoors. Since my bulge in my disc has been acting up, I have been running a little less. I though of another good one, you can’t stop unless you want to fall of and get hurt lol. That keeps me going.
Cher, I know what you mean! I start to freak in the gym thinking “ok people are about to see me run. ack!”
Kristi, that cracks me up!! thats a good one.
I run intervals on the treadmill and it makes the time fly by. I prefer to run outdoors though.
Hi Kaycee, thanks for stopping by! I’ve been doing intervals too, I like how quickly the time goes by too.
I gotta say I love running outside and always feel a bit cooped up when I’m at the gym. We live in a high desert area-summers are amazing, winters are snowy and cold and windy-but I dress for the weather and it’s not so bad. I like to find local trails to hit.
Hi Gina, I agree. The gym can get so stale after a while. That’s great you have amazing summers! thanks for your comment
