    Pretty much the same as summer except my biking isson a trainer and swimming in the pool. Swimming laps is almost as mind numbing as running on a treadmill which I do occasionally when there's freezing rain.

    Treadmill if it's too icy to run outside. Cross Country skiing when I can.

    I run and do spin classes. I also train with heavy weights w a PT twice a week and take a barre class once a week.

    I do more cycling on my indoor trainer vs outside...that said, we still have some really nice days in winter and I can still get out and ride on weekends. The biggest difficulty is darkness at the times I have the greatest availability.

    I also belong to a small community center near my office and just go over their and jump on the treadmill or elliptical from time to time. I also take the boys to the trampoline park every couple of weekends or so and I get a pretty good workout jumping around for an hour with them.

    I own rollers, so I haul my bicycle upstairs to my workout room, set up, and try not to murder myself by zipping right off the damned things. :) Not only is is great cardio getting the spin on (and it doesn't kill my knees by having to adjust to a different bike fit, so I avoid the pain that visits me when I use stationary bikes at the local gym), it's got the heart rate going insanely high due to the stress of trying not to fall. :D

    I run outside. I live in Norway so that means darkness, cold and ice but with decent gear its safe enough.

    I walk every day and the only weather that will make me use a treadmill at the gym is lightening. Couple of extra layers in the winter and I’m good even below zero. I used to dread snow (still do but not for walking in) since I got a pair of pull on spikes. Nary a slip.

    I have a treadmill. But I live in San Diego so the weather isn’t really an issue. It’s not too bad if you find music you love or something to watch.

    9Round, as often as I can. Never the same workout & nothing better IMO.

    I loved Leslie Sansone Miracle Miles set. It's cardio walking and strength training with a band. There are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mile walks so something for everyone.
