Just curious what everyone else does to get their cardio in if it is pouring rain outside, and have no way to the gym??
I don't have any workout equipment at my house....any ideas?

    Youtube has every type of cardio workout you can imagine. You name it they have it. I personally do the Walk at Home videos with Leslie Sansone.

    I run in the rain. I'm going to get wet from sweating anyway, so what does it matter?

    If you're a runner, I say go rain or shine.

    But I live in Seattle, so that's just the way we run up here. ;)

    I love HASfit on Youtube. Coach Kozak is very encouraging and it only takes 20-30 minutes.

    I just run in the rain unless it's lightning, then I will go on YouTube and do a Leslie Sansone Walk At Home video.

    I'm another You Tube suggester, there are some great ones out there. I'm not a video person, but for a go-to when you don't have anything else they can be fun.

    People forget that some people actually can't run in the rain, for example, I don't like to run outside in pouring rain because I need my hearing aids to hear the cars.

    I hate running/walking in the rain because no matter how good my shoes and socks are, as soon as they are wet I get evil blisters :(
