But you CAN exercise at home! Workout videos and DVDs, resistance bands, hey - books and cans can become weights if you are desperate. Put on some great music and dance around the house.

Now say this aloud:
I will not become a couch potato because it is cold outside. I WILL exercise, even if I have to do it at home .

All kidding aside, living in northern MI, I have added lots of at-home equipment so I don't have to leave my comfortable, warm, cozy home to exercise in the winter.

I can't say that I blame you for not wanting to leave...but counting down is right. You can exercise at home.

Talk yourself up off of the count and just get that body moving!!! You will feel better once you do!

Would it help to tell ya that it was -21 here when I woke up this morning?
Very hard to get motivated when it's that cold and on the weekend! And I work out at home
Every little bit counts!
