Workouts For A Rainy Day!

Its June and it is unseasonably wet here in the UK

. It didn't just stop at April showers! Mother Nature may take up to 50% of your workout days away from you with bad weather. This is just something we learn to accept, but don't let this be your excuse for skipping a workout altogether. There are plenty of rainy day alternatives.

Let's face it, on a perfect sunny day, it is easy to be motivated to go for a brisk walk in the park or even a more challenging jog or cycle. Nothing beats being outside when the weather is good, but sometimes even for the toughest of Exercise Bike, cycling or running in the rain can makes things a little tricky when it comes to falls, visibility, and traction. Sadly you cant change the weather, but you can adapt your workout plan.

Hitting the exercise bike or Treadmill can be a great alternative. Use of intervals can mix up the pace, provide a challenge but also prevent boredom while working out as well as provide a powerful calorific burn.

If youre looking to trim and tone quickly, consider using resistance (weights). Kettlebells are a great all round weight that can provide a full body strength and cardiovascular workout in one. One of the most popular basic kettlebell moves is the Swing, which works every major muscle group and taxes your cardiovascular system at the same time.

Adding just two resistance workouts a week into your routine will help transform your body. Even if you have no Fitness Equipment to hand, you can still have a great workout using just body weight. Lifting and supporting your own body is tough, push-ups for example are the equivalent of lifting 75% of your own body weight! No wonder a lot of people find them difficult at first, but the more you do, the stronger you will get. Thats like a 75kg person lifting around 57kg not to be scoffed at!

Decide what types of workouts are possible in the time and space you have available. Once you have established this much, you can put together a routine that matches your goals. Working out at home is perfect for bad hair days, laundry days or just those times when you are thrown off the normal routine and need to fit in a quick workout somehow!
