I am a walker/hiker. But I hate cold wet weather...My biggest challenge has always been continuing to exercise during wet months. What have you guys done to keep up the good work? As we speak it is raining and I am battling with the idea of getting out there and walking around in the slop....

    I walk a lot too! In the cold me and my dad just bundle up gloves hats and coats and stuff, but in the rain the community center we go to has an indoor track so we walk on that, you could look for a community center that has one, or go to a large building like a mall and walk, or get rain boots and a big poncho and walk anyways. if all else fails there's always the treadmill and the elliptical (I hate them but if you're in a pinch it's an option)

    I am in PNW and it's currently pouring rain. I also love walks and hikes but yeah...... the weather. If you have the cash invest in a good quality raincoat that has a zip in fleece. This way you can remove the fleece depending on the temperature. Quick dry socks, an umbrella and hiking boots that will keep your feet dry also work.

    Columbia has this plus size women's rain jacket that is guarenteed waterproof: columbia.com/womens-evapouration-jacket---plus-size-RW2023.html?dwvar_RW2023_variationColor=485&cgid=women-plusSizes-jacketsVests#start=11
