There is for most of the year, it’s simply too hot to get regular exercise outdoors in Miami unless you serve. So what’s a gal to do to stay in shape in the sauna that is Miami? Martial arts training are one of the best options I can think of. A constant schedule of classes makes it convenient. MMA and karate schools are air conditioned. The skills taught make me confident as a single woman that I could protect myself if I needed to. And the regular activity keeps me in shape, gives me a outlet to release stress from work, and is a disciplinary practice that makes it easier for me to make myself do all the things I need to do each and every day.
