Too wet to workout?

It is bucketing down rain outside and I have to walk to get to the gym. It is a fifteen minute walk and I just don't know if I can be bothered today. Should I try and wait it out or just call it. I haven't skipped a session due to bad weather yet but its Friday, I have to do house reno's tomorrow and I am feeling lazy...

I did play some table tennis before, that has to be worth something doesn't it?

Are they your general run of the mill excuses and I should get off my butt and workout or do you think I have a valid excuse in there somewhere?

    Umbrellas are a handy invention just for this kind of situation. :D

    Get off your butt and get to it.

    Bring an umbrella and wear a raincoat.

    YOu might still get a bit wet but it's water.

    YOu'll dry off.

    Why not workout at home with a youtube video?

    The rain has eased slightly which has made my excuses more pathetic and being that no one could find a valid excuse in there anyway I guess I should get off my butt and head to the gym...

    Here goes!

    You could always do a home DVD exercise instead. Jillians fat burning one is a killer.

    I like how you ask a forum that question and not your wife. Go to the gym! :D

    if you havent got an umbrella, take a cab or bus to the gym. otherwise log onto fitness blender.com and choose a workout. There is loads of choice.

    My excuse was I do not have the time to exercise, dont want to pay for the gym membership. I realise now there are no excuses unless you are ill. So much you can do for free and only takes 20/30 mins out of your day.

    Here's a couple of sayings from my parents:

    1/ You aren't made of icing sugar.
    2/ Procrastination is the thief of time.

    Here's one of mine:
    Have you reached the end of your book of excuses yet?

    It was a struggle but I got there relatively dry and got home dry. I struggled a bit today but got through the session. Thankyou fellow MFPers for kicking my butt when I needed it...

    I didn't ask you because I knew what you would say - go to the gym and I hate to say it but I was right again :happy:

    I was looking for someone to tell me that heading to the gym in the rain is bad for your health or something like that, my mum would have told me that if I get wet I will die of pneumonia. Once again I have survived getting a bit wet...

    I'd go and log the walk to and from the gym as swimming. >.>
