I hardly ever used to work up a sweat, so I really tended to take air conditioner for granted
When I started to live a more active lifestyle is when I started to appreciate climate control more than I have in the past. These days, instead of driving to work, I bike ride to work. Sure, it takes about an hour, and it’s tough during the summer and winter, but thanks to a very accommodating management team, I know that there will be either great air conditioner or heat when I finally arrive at work, not to mention showers! My company is one of those who has decided to take the health of it’s employees seriously, and so they installed the showers in the building a couple years back for those who wished to get a little exercise in on their commute to work. Now I have a place to cool down or warm up and freshen up and change before starting the work day. I will even get a little gym time in on the weekends, and the HVAC system they have over there is also pretty great. I think sometimes, gym owners can be cheap and try and convince their customers that warmer temperatures, even in the summertime, are more conducive for exercise. I don’t think you need to sweat to lose weight, and the gym that I attend keeps us nice and cool with a great A/C. I hardly ever used to work up a sweat, so I really tended to take air conditioner for granted. I also never considered bike riding in near-freezing temperatures like I do now regularly, so I also took heating for granted. Now I lead a healthier lifestyle and I love climate control more than ever!
