    Run up and down the stairs, I know its boring, but its different. You could also put your raincoat on, be brave and have a run. x

    I'm not sure if you have this, but in times like these, I go to my TV. Our cable provider offers Videos on Demand and I do a couple of the Fitness videos. They've just added Jillian Michaels stuff, so I'm excited!
    I also try doing a thorough cleaning of my house. Mopping, scrubbing, the works. You would be amazed at how many calories you can burn mopping!

    I hope this helps!

    Set your treadmill to do intervals that way it is constantly moving and you aren't just running at one speed.

    Do you have a set of free weights or a stability ball at home? I like to do my weight/ab routine as I'm watching my favorite shows I recorded throughout the week.

    Do you have a wii? stairs? weights? you can also try listening to music while you use the treadmill I find walking with music hypes me up! but I have a bike indoors an I watch tv while doing it lol if you dont have weights try fill jugs of water..pushups, crunches, etc...i find music to help and a pic of someone in good shape next to my pic :( lol oh well you can do it girl!
    I normally like walking in the rain you dont sweat so bad lol so put a hoody on and some head phones and GO GO GO!

    Cleaning the inside of a car (thoroughly) is a surprisingly good work out. Cleaning the house is a good idea too. Or stick on a film while you are on the treadmill - I do that while i'm on my exercise bike... i'd be bored stiff otherwise!
