    I'm in Michigan and we're sharing the same weather. I just suck it up and wear a jacket with a hood. Today I wore a pair of thermal pants under my shorts. It's when I want to go the least that I find it in me to go.

    I prefer an outdoor workout and don't belong to a gym.I find them boring.However,it's been way too cold.I bought a variety of dvd's this past weekend and have been having a lot of fun with them.There is also a "Y" in my town so I can pay a daily rate if I want to take a class to mix it up a bit. I've recently been diagnosed with a condition that doesn't allow me prolonged exposure to cold and it's a bummer!

    Thanks to everyone who replied, it looks like I'm making excuses for myself. Going to the gym tomorrow morning no matter how cold it is!

    I just got home from work, it's around 7:30am. Usually I hit the gym on my way home, but right now in Milwaukee it's -7 out, so cold it's painful! Am I wrong for skipping the gym when it's that cold out? I don't want to go outside all sweaty (there's no showers at the gym I go to). Does anyone else wimp out when it's freezing out?


    I'm in Milwaukee too! :( It really has decreased me working out..I feel horrible but it's just SO cold! It was 7-11 degrees later on with a -20 wind chill!
