Rainy day cardio exercises?

[Anonymous]

Asked my mom how she felt about me investing in a treadmill for days like today when it's non-stop pouring rain out and I can't go running... and she said we'd "talk about it later".

So in the meantime... does anyone have any good stand-in exercises? I didn't run yesterday because I couldn't without doing damage to myself, and now that I'm in functioning condition again... the weather isn't cooperating. It's annoying.

running in the rain is the best for me. I go crazy, I only wear my shorts, pump my music and just run my route while it's raining. it feels awesome.

but it's not for everyone, umm.. well you can do HIIT exercises at home, all you'd need is a small space.

here's a video. you can copy what he does at your own pace, faster - slower - or the same.

You know you don't have to run literally every day. In fact, that may be more damaging to your body - you have to rest as well. Use the rain as an excuse to rest.

I rested yesterday.

Rest some more. Or train your mind - read something.

Even if I were to use today as a second rest day - not likely - you still didn't answer my question for future rainy day happenings.

@Mybeachlife88 already gave you a good idea. Do squats. Or anything that doesn't require you to go outdoors.

How about rope skipping?

Mountain Climbers
Burpee's
Jump Rope
Jumping Jacks
Running in place
Any kind of easy repetitive strike, kick or punch from any fighting style or art.

Clean the house as quickly as possible, scrubbing a tub can raise your heart rate.

[TonyRyanAgain]

Run in place, jumping jacks, squats, cross jacks, bicycle kicks, donkey kicks...

Burpees!

Actually JUST watched a video on how to do them properly, 'cause I was thinking they would probably be my best option lol.

Ya videos are good because it's difficult to explain via text in my opinion. They require like zero area, so it's perfect for what you're looking for.
FYI, they look easy but omg they are a drain.

Squats!
