    I had a rest day in the end. There was no way I was venturing out. It was icy and windy. Still did 4000 steps so no big deal. Thanks for all the ideas.

    My gym is closed due to the weather today, expect others may be too (I live rurally so most people can walk to work, I assume thats why its closed- yesterday they had trouble with the cold stopping the automatic doors opening).

    If anything I prefer walking in extreme weather (well, not that British weather is ever that extreme, went down to -6 yesterday, warmer today at -3). Aslong as you have enough laters and good footwear, its fine. If its slippy and youre off work, walk to the closest park and do some igloo building, or something. The snow and ice is less treacherous on grass, and you dont have to be actively walking- just being on your feet and keeping active is whats more important.

    Other options- deep clean the house/flat. Thatll keep you moving and burning. Shovel some snow. Follow along to some body weight stuff on youtube.

    I jog in place on a daily basis. Every chance i get. Watching tv, folding laundry, cooking. All the time. I get an hour in and its a sweat session at night watching tv. I dont half butt it. Knees in the air..lol

    I live in the uk also. Weather has been awful. Not used to snow and ice as past few winters have been more rainy and windy. The pavements outside are treacherous. Back in work today so *had* to walk. Back to 10000. Thanks again guys lots of good ideas there.
