    Well if you're that commited to staying indoors you can do squats indoors. Find some stairwell in some tall building nearby and walk up and down the stairs.

    You can do jumping jacks or jumprope in your house. You can do sit ups and planks. You can do yoga or pilates videos or any videos at all.

    You can do video game exercise/dance stuff.

    You can do leg lifts and stretches.

    You can do youtube videos of arms workouts, or pretty much anything you can think of.

    Finally, you can prancersize.

    I love running in the rain, but if it were lightening I would do this go to www.onlinestop-watch.com down select stop watch and do the floowing:

    warm up for 4-5 minutes

    then go into 20 second intervals with 10 second breaks between each one


    Jumping jacks

    squat punches

    butt kicks

    mini suicides " put objects on the floor like pillows , start at one and run to the other and back again bending down to touch each one.

    Jump squats

    An ab move of your choice like planks

    * 30 to 45 second rest and repeat. 4 to 8 X

    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.

    ^^^This^^^

    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.

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