Spoken like a person whose never experienced -20f weather. I’m teasing not looking for a “weather off”.

Depending on how much space you have a you can find treadmills cheap on Craigslist. People practically have to give them away just to get rid of them. I use a treadmill in the winter and go outside during the summer. There are also walking only treadmills that are pretty affordable ($300) that fit under a desk and you can walk during meetings etc. I generally agree going to a gym just to walk seems like a waste.

I was leaving aside the gym trip:

> A 30 minute workout, two or three times a week is sufficient (i.e. hit 6 or 7 machines, for 3 sets each)

...which was separate from the hour+ walk every day.
