Bad weather doesn’t have to keep you from keeping fit

Beat the bad-weather blahs and tone up by bringing your workout indoors:

• Think of your home as a gym. You might consider investing in a treadmill, stationary bike or other exercise machines. But you don’t necessarily need expensive equipment to get a good aerobic workout at home. Try climbing stairs, jogging in place or jumping rope.
• Join an indoor volleyball or basketball team.
• Swim laps or take water aerobics in an indoor pool. n Walk briskly around an indoor mall.
• Be a domestic athlete. Cleaning closets and washing windows or floors count as exercise — and help you get a head start on your spring cleaning.
• Rent or buy some workout videos.
• Experiment with different exercise classes at a local fitness center.
