Help Raining again

This may be a silly question. But I usually walk 35 min. on my lunch but it is pouring rain and I cant get soaked and work the rest of the day. If I dont do it on my lunch I tend not to do it at all. Was wondering what I could do instead? I have a back hall stairs, would going up and down them be a good exercise?

    Absolutely! I think stairs are even better then walking (if you knees/body can take it) and if you have decent footware for it. My only issue with real stairs is that it can get a little boring, but I guess that's what IPods are for. :happy:

    I actually just saw on the Regis and Kelly show great workouts you can do inside without any weights or equipment!

    Here's the website...

    Just search for the workouts...they looked really fun!

    Good Luck!

    I have started walking at work on the sidewalk instead of the parking lot and at home in the rain riding the bike.

    At least I can do something.

    The rain is so depressing.....
