The winter weather is rough and I'm not a gym member. I like to run but its too cold and I'm struggling to keep an exercise routine. What's your favorite (economically friendly) at home workout?

    I walk laps around the staircase in my basement. Each lap is 25 steps.

    Weights, mat pilates, and running. There are tons of exercise DVDs and youtube videos if you need something more structured. Fitness Bender also has a lot of videos that require little to no equipment: https://fitnessblender.com/

    Where do you live? Running in the winter should not be an issue if you dress appropriately. I run year around, but the coldest it gets is just below 0F where I am. There's some really helpful information in the Runner's World forums on what people wear and what gear they use in varying winter climates, including Canada and Alaska.

    If you share my situation where you cannot get a weight set, you can try my solution. I use resistance bands. There are door anchors and various handles as accessories. With these you can do a surprising amount of typical movements. Pull downs, shoulder presses, rows, deadlift variants and more are doable.

    If you are in the UK, my protein offer great value for money:

    To be frugal, do HIT. A set of tabata squats with a broomstick for a barbell and no weight will put you through an ordeal of exercise.
