My lanai needs HVAC for my workouts
I have a lanai that I work out every single day.
It is plenty long and tall enough for all of my gymnastic training.
It has a whole wall of screens that can let in a fresh breeze on a hot day. For most of the year, the lanai is perfect. I wake up, eat my breakfast, do a bit of work and then work out. During the heart of summer or winter, the lanai is pretty tough. The wintertime it gets so cold. I have folding mats that sit on cement that seem to keep the cold. I close the screens but freezing air is let inside. I work out in a jacket, pants and sometimes a hat. I recently invested in a space heater because it was so cold. The space is very large and it takes my small heating system a long time to make a dent. I don’t feel like waiting around all day to work out too. Typically in the wintertime I just freeze and workout directly in front of the heater. In the summertime I need to force myself to get up early and earlier. I don’t want to work out when it is over 80 degrees. I only have a box fan, no AC, to keep me cool. So if I get up early enough, I can work out when it is in the low 70s. That makes for a pleasant workout where I can get things done. If I am lazy in bed or work too late in the day, then I am suffering through my whole workout. I know the solution is to invest in a HVAC device. It just will be quite expensive to get installed.
