When its raining out

Not sure how intense of exercise you are looking for - I am a walker, not a jogger/runner myself so may be different than what you are looking for: I usually just walk somewhere indoors - my office is very large so I walk there over lunch anyway, but also you can go to an indoor mall or somewhere like that and just take a walk and listen to some podcasts on your phone. You can also dance - there are some videos you can stream if you need help thinking of dances that will get you moving, or even video games like "Just Dance" that will keep you moving.

Exercise bike, treadmill, pilates, Leslie Sansome, yoga,

When it's raining out, what exercises do you do indoors? anyone?

I am not a fairweather outdoor sports person. If I was then I wouldn't be doing much outside for much of the year. When I choose or have to be inside, I'll typically get on my bike on a trainer. If it's just raining and not an issue of "the river is too high/too fast/there's too much debris for rowing" or "there are thunderstorms so I will be not be doing much of anything outside whether it be rowing or cycling" I...go outside, because it's just rain.

If it's walking look up walking style workouts on YouTube. There are several "flavors" - Leslie Sansone, Jessica Smith, Debbie Rocker, Ellen Barrett, etc.

You can find some of these on DVD at your local library or for sale too. Test drive a few. Find something you like. I use Leslie Sansone Just Walk DVDs because they come with a music only option; she's a little too cheerful in the morning.

Most gyms are rain proof. Rain doesn't change my workout.

I have a variety of cardio exercise equipment in the house. #BeingOld.

Usually I'll do a Popsugar, FitnessBlender or Yoga with Adrienne work-out from YouTube

I will still go running in the rain, though I'll stay home if there is lightning. If I can't run for whatever reason, I'll usually shuffle around my rest days to make up for it. Otherwise, I do have the VR video game Beat Saber that can keep me moving.

Why does being old mean being relegated to being inside? #iprobablyrowwithpeopleolderthanyou #theseareabsurd

I thought the point was that us oldies had had the time and discretionary income to collect lots of fun indoor fitness toys so that fun, active cocooning was an option.

Why did you assume otherwise?

Unless it’s *really* pouring, I stick my phone in a ziplock bag and go for a run. If my schedule is flexible that day, I’ll try to find a time that has the lowest chance of rain. If it’s a bit cool, I’ll wear a light rain jacket; otherwise, I just wear a baseball cap to keep some rain out of my eyes.

Note that this has only gotten me caught in a hailstorm once. That’s the only time I’ve ever sworn out loud, repeatedly, for two miles.

Sleet is another "fun" one. It feels like shards of glass are falling from the sky if you bike through it.

Unless there's a hurricane, thunderstorm or freezing rain I'll still run outdoors but that's me.....what do you enjoy doing that can be moved indoors? I'm fortunate enough to have enough space for a strength equipment in the garage (a little chilly in minter) and my rowing machine, treadmill & bike trainer in the basement. Depending on your space / budget situation a good alternative to consider (if there's one locally) is something like Planet Fitness. People love to hate PF but it's cheap at $10 a month and they have a good variety of equipment with the exception of barbells.

Depends on how hard it is raining. Some of my best runs are in a light rain. Heavy rain I go to the gym and run on the "dread"mill. I live in Oregon, so a little rain is the norm 7 months of the year.

Walking is my daily exercise and about the only weather I won't go out in is when there's lightning. "Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet."
