Ok, It rains a lot here in Florida, and for my exercise cardio I like to walk outside a few miles. But I know I don't want to walk when its rainy out cause I don't want to catch colds. What does everyone do for rainy days to exercise?

    I am currently doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution, and thats done in home! Grab a workout video and do it indoors on rainy days, it is summer after all..and with summer comes all those thunder storms!

    I have a treadmill at home, or I go to the YMCA! But... If it's sometimes just a light rain, I'll go run in that... It's refreshing!!!

    I jog all over the house- while doing dishes, watching TV, cooking, etc. I make it a game with my son.

    If it rains on rainy and stormy days, I stay inside and lift weights and do cardio and yoga instead of walking outside, because the ground is too wet and muddy. Otherwise, if it's stormy and a tornado or a hurricane comes through my area, I'd watch news coverage on tv or take time to exercise to keep fit.

    I love exercising in the rain- especially mountain biking. Being cold =/= catching a cold.

    Lightning on the other hand- yeah I usually move it indoors and make it a strength training day.

    My fitness routine includes Curves (fitness center) 3-4 times a week. And that's inside so....
    I also have an elliptical at home.

    I will go to the fitness center in the apartments where I live or I will do cardio with my 2 lb. weights at home to my favorite music.

    Go to the gym.
    Lift in the garage.
    Go outside anyways. It's Florida in the summer. It's always going to be raining so might as well not use that as an excuse.

    I love working out in the rain...You can't catch a cold just by getting wet, it's a virus/bacteria, so embrace our lovely weather and let it refresh you!

    I will sometimes walk when it is raining but I hate when the rain is over and the humidity comes in (it messes wth my asthma too) and I really hate when the mosquitos come out:grumble: I enjoy the Biggest Loser Boot Camp DVD - cardio and weights - mixes them both up.

    hey there! I walk all the time too! I have been pretty disappointed with all the rain here lately.....even today! I have a Wii & I will do the Wii Fit Plus. I just ran 20 minutes on there today. I love the Wii! I do like walking outdoors through my neck of the woods more though.

    I do the same thing I do for hot and muggy days... walk on the treadmill or use the elliptical :) I save walking outside for the sunny cooler weather or for the days at the beach where I can walk with my toes in the water :)
