Im living in south Louisiana (by abbeiville/layffyette (<still cant spell it...) Any way, We are in this horrible heat wave right now. It is suicidal to go outside right now. We havent had rain in a few weeks (a little more than 2 months)
It sucks and I cant go out and practice. The avarge tempature has been around 90 to 102 degrees and that is without the heat index. with it, it is around 95 to 112 degrees. it is so humid that when I take two steps outside sweat just starts pouring out. (and if I do decid to bear it to practice rolls, the grass is dead and painful, and the cement is freakeshly hot)

Hence, because I can't train like I norm would, my motivation to keep myself conditiond and fit is very low. I have alot of equipment I can use to workout with like my bowflex, the elastic bands and my fams wii. But still it really sucks because of my lack of motivation. so if anyone here could give me some encouragement, then I' masking for your help. Im stuck inside, and I have no place to really go...

I here you dude. I'm in Ruston, Louisiana and it's hot as crap over here even though it's supposed to rain and get rid of all the humidity. I've just been doing handstand pushups in my room for the last hour.

Honestly, for motivation dude. Just go and watch some parkour video's or sometimes when I really get un-motivated, I just daydream about parkour and imagine a perfect world with all it's uses and I picture myself in perfect physical fitness doing all these crazy flips and jumps and it gets me all pumped to go and train.

Too bad you can't be here dude, we could motivate each other.

there's been a bit of a heat wave out here in minniapolis for the past week or so, temps hovering around 95-100. not as bad as you guys, but warmer than it usually is.

my solution have been to start working out at 9:00, even if it is still kinda warm out it should be the coolest part of the day. just be carefull in area's with bad lighting, it would be pretty easy to miss a jump or something when you can't see, even if it's something you've done a thousand times.

just my 2 cents.

Then work out late at night, after it's dark and cooled down a bit. Take whatever anti-bug lotions you need out there, just train then

Haha, It's the exact opposite up here...cold and rainy.

seems like terrible weather everywhere...

I think I might have posted this thread a little early. About 3hrs ago, it started pouring down with a strong north wind ^_^
Now, I need to wait till this stuff drys...I hope it dosn't get super hot tomorrow.
(there was a 30% chance of rain to day and the weather dude said nothing would prob come...

lol I really can't say whether or not here is bad... actually as of now it isn't that bad... during the day it is about 98F with a humidity % of about 40... at night/dusk/close to dusk (Basically, 6PM and on...) it is a nice 70F... with like 5% humidity... it gets REALLY nice REALLY quick... because when the sun goes down it gets to 68F... But I'm dreading the on coming August... 107 at 75% humidity ALL day long! even nights! it's terrible... I hate it when being outside for a minute will give me a lethal fever...

But I just realized another great way to train! I had to push my 3335 Pound Z31 (300ZX not Camaro) up hill into a garage! Was a LOT less miserable than I had thought it'd be...

Now tie a rope under the front bumped and when you get to the top let it roll down the hill again slowly and we will call it the Sisyphean Push.

i got like 30 bug bites and a friggin wasp sting on my eyebrow i want to go on an insect genicide
but im muscling trough with all the rain in jersey recently there has been a lot of standing water so more mosquitoes, off just aint cuttin it anymore. but if i go out around 5 i stil got a few hours of sunlight and it isnt as hot and mosquitoes rent out in force yet so thats my plan so far
cant even imagine Louisiana thats gotta suck major spheres

yougotkicked · « **Reply #12 on:** June 29, 2009, 10:51:27 PM »

dude, im from minnesota; the mosquito is our state bird.

if you feel like mosquito genocide, just pour a little gasoline on the standing water pools and toss a match, the surface will boil and the water temp should raise high enough to kill the eggs...

I hope its not so bad when I'm at new orleans in a few weeks (why the ELCA decided to schedule the gathering for the middle of july I'll never know). Although I've dealt with 120 at vegas so it shouldn't be too bad.

Shawn Meilicke · « **Reply #14 on:** June 29, 2009, 11:32:15 PM »

Its completely diffrent heat here and there. I WISH i could be in LV 120 heat. Because dry heat is WAY better then WET heat.

Here is the bad thing, yesterday it raind pretty heveay, but there is no rain predicted for a while, so all the water in the ground will steam out. Causing it to be hotter then it was. the rain didnt help us at all...

And i found out that the night isnt better during the day, at 4am the temp was 89...the sun didnt even start apearing...

Wow... some of you may or may not have seen my complain about living in Phoenix a few times. But I'll take 110 degree dry heat over any of that humidity crap any day.

Shae Perkins · « **Reply #18 on:** June 30, 2009, 07:32:01 AM »

When its balls hot I train in the weee hours of the morn. Train at around 5 or 6AM buddy. You could be finished much before the hottest part of the day:)

PKAB · « **Reply #19 on:** June 30, 2009, 08:32:31 AM »

Wow jeez never expereicnd weather that hot I guess just try to train indoors I dont know if there are any Gymnastic Gyms/Crossfit GYms around you but if you want to Stay cool and in shape maybe go swim laps at the pool if you have on in your town, just a suggestion but thats what I do if its Motivation just force yourself to work out and then Gradually throughout the Workout you will gain motivation and if your workout is on a schedule it helps because you know what your workout is and when to do it so its like disciplining yourself to workout at home more.
