    I'm a Floridian, so this is a constant problem. It kept me from doing C25K today. I keep a variety of DVDs on hand. mainly Leslie Sansone and Jillian Michaels. They're 30 minute workouts, so I can't let time add to the rain as an excuse. Most of Leslie's DVDs don't require extra equipment, although I add hand weights to increase the burn. The JMBR strength DVDs use hand weights. They're cheap and it's good to have a set on hand.

    I would go running up and down the stairs, it burns even more calories than jogging outside(:

    You have plenty to do, to name a few: push-ups, sit-ups, jumping on the spot, jogging on the spot, dancing, body weight squats, lunges.... These alone should keep you going for a long while.

    Now with regards to no gym membership - I don't have one either but that doesn't stop me from purchasing a pair of solid dumbbells and weights to lift with at home - and tbh, it's a sound investment if you ask me, less than a years membership cost to a gym to get a set of good weights - add a good training program with it and you'll look almost if not the same as you would if you were to go to a gym in the long run.

    I live outside of Seattle. It rains 9 months out of the year here and yet we have one of the lowest rates of obesity in the nation. Why? Because people go out and do stuff anyway. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm originally from Florida, and there's no way in Hell I'd be caught out running in a thunderstorm, but there is still PLENTY of stuff you can do indoors. Matter of fact, there are people who have learned out how to get really, really lean in a 4x4 ft space (Google "Convict Workout")...there's a whole bodyweight movement built on it.

    Anyhoo, get to work! ;)

    Generally I get outside and run, so when it is raining I lift weights, I used to do workout videos on YouTube or do workout games on Xbox Kinect.

    Go play in the rain! It's fun, especially on a hot day.

    I don't get it, why is it fun in a hot day whilst its raining, the air just becomes humid and disgusting ...

    Finally, you can prancersize.

    No, no. That's strictly for outside - for the entertainment of others.

    I don't run I walk, but here's a sentiment I'm working towards.

    ^ This. Do you remember being a kid and actually enjoying playing in the rain? Find that again.

    yep, a little rain or wind won't kill you :) plus it will wash away the sweat :)

    Running in the rain is actually kind of nice, once you give up the notion of trying to stay dry :bigsmile:
