    I live in Ireland so this is often something I have to navigate my way around :lol:

    There are thousands upon thousands of online workouts you can do, I like HASFIT & The BodycoachTV channels on Youtube which are free, have loads of options for all levels :
    • HIIT
    • Yoga
    • Pilates
    • Resistance Band Work
    • Bodyweight Exercises
    • Dumbell Exercises
    • Mobility Work
    • Kickboxing

    or you could just try and stay active around the house, do some deep cleaning, sort out your wardrobe, etc.

    Alternatively, you could just suck it up, throw a rain coat and wellies on and splash about in some puddles.

    I use fitness apps on my phone :) i like the runtastic series! They have lots of body weight workouts.

    Otherwise, as @tinkerbelleang83 said:

    I usually find the thought of going out in the rain is is a million times worse than actually doing it! And it feels so good to come back inside again after the rain for a hot shower and tea :)

    Just squatting or lunges usually make me
    Feel better when I don't feel like heading to the gym. And throw in some various push ups.
