Summer is too hot and sticky and too easily dehydrated despite constantly drinking water. When properly exercising. you will generally work up a sweat and in the winter, it’s not really that many layers needed to keep warm.
Summer, because I produce approximately one gallon of perspiration per minute whenever the temperature is over 70 degrees, and that’s just when I’m standing still.
@Evansdoor Sounds like you need a good windproof shell & a matching pair of trail or running pants.
Or go cheap & buy some Tyvek “hazmat” coveralls for less than $10. Zip it up over whatever your base layer(s) are, and “have at it”.
You’ll be sweating in no time…
A few years ago, you would cause quite a stir wearing one of those in public, but these days, it’d either pass as a fashion statement, or go unnoticed.
(P.S. Don’t get the polypropylene coveralls, they’re too “breathable”.)
I don’t like being cold and frostbite sucks. I almost got some last winter while shoveling snow. Bike riding is much more dangerous in the fall and winter from slippery leaves and snow. When you work your way up a hill it is nice to speed down, but not in the winter since your sweat gets you really cold while it evaporates at speed. And BTW, I too, sweat a lot in the heat.
Too much heat & humidity (depending upon where you are) during summer. Plus, dehydrate easier and higher possibility of heat exhaustion/stroke. For winter, bundle up and make sure you exercise within safe temps.
I like playing sports and doing workouts in the heat (up to about 95F), so summer is fine for me. I know I’m going to sweat like crazy, so I bring plenty of water and maybe some pickle brine or a electrolyte supplement. And playing soccer or ultimate frisbee shirtless on a warm sunny day is as close to perfect as this world allows.
Winter is an annoying balancing act of layers. I generate a lot of heat while being active, so I might show up to the field in long sleeves and a jacket, but end up playing in a t-shirt or even tank top until it gets down below freezing. But then if I’m on the sideline for more than five minutes, it’s time to layer up again with a cold, sweaty shirt. And my hands get less dexterous the colder they get, which sucks.
But I wholly agree with the “I can always wear more layers” logic for anything non-active. Bring on jacket weather.
Winter, definitely. No matter how many layers you put on, there will still be that cold air burning your throat and freezing you from the inside out.
My dad has a saying: “It’s uncomfortable to be hot, but it hurts to be cold.”
Being a born and bred Florida native, I don’t even find it that uncomfortable to be hot. Always have ice-water and you’ll be fine; it’s the Florida equivalent of hot soups or coffee during winter. I love working outside in the heat, so it’s a good thing I took up farming in Florida.
I grew up in Miami. I hate heat and humidity, and I was in my late 20s before I got a chance to have a real winter. I like a good, solid chill, and I can escape to the inside when it’s just too effing frozen.
Neither. I cough my lungs up in both if I’m exerting lots of effort. Which is part of why I loathe shoveling snow and why I finally have a riding lawn mower. My CA lungs never adapted to KS weather.
I can always put on more layers. I can only take off so many layers before it becomes a federal offense
@TheGreatNico This is a fav family saying. Totally agree
@TheGreatNico
Goals of exercise
“No please put it on” becomes
“Maybe take it off”

@hammi99
Winter benefit
Stand outside in just your shorts
Keeping warm takes work

Cold, so damn cold. Running or cycling the breeze will freeze you to the bones!

@ELJAY @Evansdoor or you know just get a stationary bike
I absolutely loved running in the winter at 6AM. Been years thought so. I got nothing to compare to. To fat/lazy

winter is worse for me. Minnesota…
@Superllama7
Winter is better
As a Rochesterian
I’ll take the cold thanks
Yeh, exercising outside during a Summer in Texas. Do you want to see spontaneous combustion?
@hchavers #Facts
@hchavers
Actually I do.
THE CORRECT ANSWER IS: yes
I’m a red head, and I live in Arizona. Nothing happens outside during the summer for me.
@Cbyler
A hat umbrella
Whimsical with a sweat band
Take your shade with you
@Cbyler My wife, also a redhead, says nothing happens outside for her all year round.
@replicacobra Haha. I carry an umbrella in my car for this very reason.
Don’t deal well with heat. Cold is better for me.

You can always put more on in the winter, you can only take off so much in the summer.
/giphy take it off
I’m a runner, so winter for sure. Hit a patch of ice when you’re in the zone and you’ll feel the same way.

I keep reading this as “existing outside” and my answer doesn’t change.

Exercising is the worst
