What are you all doing to keep up with exercise in winter?  Indoors or out? I’ve been slacking and want to reform.

I do prayer and focus. Scheduling helps. I am indoors. Sorry not much help … but Cheering you on praying for you.

Scheduling, huh?  Yes, I believe that will help me.  Thank you for advice and prayer!

Planks and situps next to a heating grate.  Outdoors isn’t an option at the moment.

I respect self-discipline.  You are right.  Winter is no excuse for giving up on exercise, even if it has to be done by a heating grate.

There are a lot of great videos (of ALL sorts) on YouTube or GaiaTv.com. Dance, yoga, stretching, weight training, etc. and of varying lengths of time. Having a piece of exercise equipment at home helps too, such as a treadmill, stair climber, or stationary bike. Put on some great music or an audiobook and enjoy the time! Best~ Zoe

Thanks, Zoe!  I do have a stationary bike and some small weights.  Tana’s exercise videos are good (They’d be even better if they were full-length, real-time, so that we could exercise along with her instead of having to stop the video after each demonstrated exercise).  I will follow your suggestion and look up some videos.

I am guilty of slacking too, not inspired to exercise when it is bucketing rain outdoors- the cold gray days are not inspiring at all.  I used to exercise at Curves and enjoyed it but the curves gym where I live closed down.  Haven’t come up with a new plan, I like to exercise in a group environment but not a hardcore type of gym.

What kind of group exercise?  The kind with an instructor and classmate interaction, or just knowing other people are around even if you don’t talk?  I ran into some exercise classes while looking through a local community education website, if that helps.

thanks M21 I am looking at our community center to see what they have on offer,  I do like a class with instrutor etc.  maybe a zumba class or something would be fun.

In winter, I like to swim, go to the gym, or do fitness videos at home. I also like community education classes, they are fun to meet new people.
