How’s the weekend going for everyone?
It’s been pretty good over here! It’s been quite the lazy weekend, but I totally needed it.
By the way, Sea Bass rules. It’s not the cheapest thing in the world, but totally worth it.
Moving along…
It’s definitely storm season in Texas!
On a perfect sunny day, it’s easy to get motivated for a bike ride or run outside, but when spring showers make the outdoors less-enticing place, it’s much harder to find the will to work out.
I knew that it was going to be an indoor workout day when I heard the hail overnight.
I don’t give up on getting fit by waiting until there’s a more favorable forecast. Instead, I get creative indoors!
- Indoor cycling or trainer workouts (spinning)
- Treadmill workouts
- Circuit workouts
- Exercise classes
- Rock climbing
- Yoga (I’ve never done it, but I know people who love it)
- And so much more!
You can always suck it up and run or ride outside, but that’s up to you. I’m a wimp though!
After a lazy day yesterday, it was hard to get motivated this morning. I ended up missing my alarm (I set it for 5 PM instead of 5 AM) and didn’t have time to get a run in before having to be somewhere at 8 AM. I ended up going to an afternoon spin class, but it threw my morning out of whack!
I ended up doing 3 X 20 minute intervals on the treadmill (with 5 minutes rest in between). It was far from exciting, but it got the job done!
What’s your favorite exercise on a rainy day?

I need to try sea bass sometime! And grilled corn is the best.
You know I love my yoga
I’m the type who will suck it up to walk outside in a snowstorm or thunderstorm or whatever, but only because I hate the treadmill so much haha.

It’s been kind of crappy here too. I do not do outdoor running with the rain, no thanks!
hahaha I saw your tweet – “I’ll just keep running till it stops!” love it. I’m not a fan of the TM so if I’m forced to be inside I will be on my sweet self-cooling bike trainer hahaha. I actually get a better workout on the trainer though since I’m still a little skittish out on the roads – and there’s no coasting or downhills. I totally need to try sea bass too – I love fish, that’s one i’ve never had!
To the sea bass comment – so right, it’s totally worth it. I only order it out at restaurants because I’m worried I wouldn’t prepare it properly at home and I’m scared to waste such delicious fish!

Sea bass is so amazing! But actually I think my favourite fish are some of the cheaper ones… salmon, trout and arctic char!
It’s a rainy weekend here too so I’ve been doing treadmill runs and weights at the gym!

I’m one of those yoga loving people. You should try it!

Ooh I LOVE sea bass! One of the best Christmas dinners I remember was when my dad made it the star of our dinner plates.
It was actually quite nice here today (sorry!) but on a rainy day, I like to do treadmill workouts, circuit workouts on the indoor track, and, on days when it’s so bad that I don’t even want to walk 10 feet from my door to the car, at home yoga.

I’m still on my yoga kick, but I’ll never turn down a sweat session on an elliptical. Love that damn machine.

Since I live in Seattle and it rains here more often than not, I’ve learned to just “suck it up” and workout in the rain. When its really bad though I head to the gym and workout on the treadmill or bike.
When I was back home in San Diego my problem was the really hot days more than the rain… that’s when I took my workouts indoors there.
On a rainy day I’ll pull out a workout DVD I have not done in a while! Sometimes I forget what videos I have.

If there’s no lightning, I love to run in the rain. Otherwise I hit my treadmill or go to a yoga class. Not much keeps me inside.

Ick…I hate winter/rain! I wish I could just eat my bodyweight in food and hibernate until spring lol. But I don’t think I’d look too hot in a bikini come summer if I did that. So I take my booty to the gym and rock some weights or get sweaty with some cardio or yoga. No excuses right???

We had amazing weather this weekend, so I got lucky. My favorite rainy workout is P90X. It keeps me on track and engaged for a good hour.

I agree with you, unfavorable weather should never be a reason for skipping on your exercise regimen. There are a lot of alternatives for outdoor cardio training.

Is it odd that whenever I hear “sea bass” I think of that movie, Dumb & Dumber?
Ha – haven’t seen that one in forever.
