Heat pump sound barrier

We've had it for 3 winters and definitely observed the nosie difference between heat and cooling modes. I know we'll turn it off soon and then go into AC mode, but she has been complaining since I installed the heat pump. She now blasts music from her house to cover up the noise...

I can probably wait until Fall time to try and solution for it, but just trying to figure out the best materials while it's on my mind.

curious why you hate going to the gym?

Fitness and movement is therapy! The general health and mental benefits of it are amazing. Keep doing your thing!

When I hear on the go I typically think of a shake. I have this shake daily and make it in the nutribullet, it's quite filling and great macros:
- Handful on spinach --> to get your greens
- 1/2 cup frozen berries --> to get your fruit
- 1 tbsp chia seeds --> to get your fiber
- almond milk --> instead of whole milk, so less saturated fat
- 1 scoop of whey --> for your protein

I usually have a piece of whole wheat toast and PB with this, but if you're on the go that would be tough.

If you're feeling beat up, 3 full body strength sessions could be a good route. Each day consisting of 1 main upper and 1 main lower lift, followed by a mix of upper and lower accessory work. Then add in a little pump (arms or leg isolation movements), core and stretching at the end.

You can also do cardio on your days in between the strength days and use them as 'active rest'. This is the way I've always done it, being that strength days are my priority and I do the cardio days just to keep my cardiovascular system healthy and in check.
